My Story

"Hi! My name is Ramsey. My best friend is called John, and we are in the same class. We love playing football and racing with tyres together during break time. I also enjoy drawing and colouring pictures in class. Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."

Ramsey is brave, cheerful, outgoing, and very bright. He loves mathematics and enjoys participating in both class and outdoor activities with his friends. His joyful spirit and curiosity make him excited to come to school each day.

Ramsey has three siblings: Samuel (15 years old), Andrew (11 years old), and Wesley (8 years old). His father sadly passed away in 2020. Since then, Ramsey and his siblings have been raised by their mother in a small one-room house in Dandora Phase IV.

His mother works very hard as a casual laborer in a maize milling factory. Despite her determination, the income she earns is very small and it is often difficult to meet the basic needs of her children.

Ramsey’s mother is deeply grateful that he has the opportunity to attend Kinyago Dandora Schools, where he can receive a quality education in a safe and nurturing environment. She hopes this opportunity will help open doors for Ramsey’s 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.
