My Story

"Hello! My name is Peter. I love colouring and playing with tyres at school with my friend Enock. We have so much fun during break time. My favorite meal is pilau, which I enjoy eating at school. Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."

Peter is a cheerful and active young boy who enjoys being in school and participating in class activities.

He has one older brother named Evans, who is 11 years old. Peter and his brother live with their parents in a small one-room iron-sheet house in Dandora Phase IV. The house does not have running water, which makes daily life more challenging for the family.

Both of Peter’s parents work as casual laborers. His father earns a living by transporting goods for people using a handcart, while his mother washes clothes for other families. Despite their hard work, their income is limited and not always stable, making it difficult to consistently meet the family’s needs.

Peter’s family is deeply grateful for the opportunity for him to attend Kinyago Dandora Schools, where he receives quality education, proper nutrition, and holistic support that offer hope for a brighter future. 

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.
