My Story

"Hello! My name is Jeremmy. I love my school, my classmates, and my teacher. My best friends are called Damian and Hakim. I enjoy drawing and colouring pictures in class, and my favorite meal is pilau, which we eat at school. Thank you for considering walking alongside me and being part of my journey."
Jeremmy is polite, bright, confident, and ambitious. He loves counting and learning mathematics, and he enjoys participating in class activities and spending time with his friends.

Jeremmy has six siblings: Godcan (19 years old), Godson (14 years old), Godwinner (13 years old), Sofia (12 years old), Godwill (9 years old), and Godfrey (8 years old). They all live together with their parents in a two-room house in Dandora Phase V.

Both of Jeremmy’s parents work very hard, moving around the streets of Dandora selling stationery to provide for the family. However, there are many days when they are unable to sell enough, and sometimes they go long periods without making sales. Because of this, the income they earn is very little and it is difficult for them to provide education and basic needs for Jeremy and his siblings.

Jeremmy’s parents were deeply grateful when he received the opportunity to attend Kinyago Dandora Schools. They continue to thank God for this opportunity, hoping it will help Jeremy build a brighter and more hopeful 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.
