My Story

"Hello! My name is Kingsly. I love colouring and playing hide-and-seek with my classmates at school. Pilau is my favorite meal, and I enjoy eating it at school. I love my school so much. Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."

Kingsly is a playful, bright, and very confident young boy who is excited to attend school each day. He especially enjoys learning mathematics and participating in class activities.

He has one sister named Judy, who is 8 years old. Kingsly’s parents separated, and his father does not support the family. He and his sister live with their mother in a small one-room house in Dandora Phase V.

His mother does not have a stable job. She is currently temporarily hired as a casual laborer helping to clean the environment near the Nairobi River. The income she earns is very little, and the job is only for a limited period. Before this, she relied on washing clothes for other families to provide for her children. Despite her hard work, meeting the family’s needs remains a challenge.

Kingsly’s mother is deeply grateful for the opportunity for him to attend Kinyago Dandora Schools, where he receives quality education and support that give 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.
