My Story

"Hi! My name is Harvir. I love drawing and colouring. I also enjoy playing soccer 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."

Harvir is a jovial, bright, and very friendly young boy who loves learning language activities and spending time with his friends. He enjoys participating in class and playing with his classmates during break time.

He has one younger brother named Harris, who is 8 years old and lives with epilepsy. Harvir and his brother live with their parents in a two-room house in Dandora Phase IV.

His father does not have a stable job and moves around selling water to residents of Dandora to provide for the family. His mother depends on casual jobs whenever opportunities arise. Despite their hard work, it has been challenging for the parents to meet the family’s basic needs, as their income is limited and unreliable.

Harvir’s family is very happy and 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.
