My Story

“Hi, I am David. I love playing football and hide and seek with my friends in school.”

David is an outgoing, playful, and friendly young boy. He enjoys being in school and is very active during outdoor activities, especially football and hide and seek with his classmates.

He has two siblings—Agnes and Bernard—and together they live in a one-room house in Dandora Phase IV. His father earns a living by ferrying luggage using a handcart, while his mother, who is currently unemployed, relies on casual work like washing clothes whenever the opportunity arises. Their combined income is limited and inconsistent, but the family continues to remain hopeful.

David’s family is incredibly grateful for the opportunity he has to attend school at KDS, where he continue to learn, grow, and pursue his dreams. Thank you for walking alongside him.

Kinyago-Dandora Schools

Kinyago-Dandora Schools are located in the heart of Nairobi's slums in Kenya, East Africa. Kinyago-Dandora Schools stand as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged children in the community, who face numerous challenges through the provision of quality education, holistic guidance and counseling, nutritious meals, and healthcare. In a country where the population is more than 50 million, Kenya has faced significant hurdles, including epidemics like malaria, cholera, AIDS, and the impact of a devastating East African drought leading to widespread starvation.
