My Story

"Hello! My name is Annberyl. I am very happy to attend school at Kinyago Dandora Schools because we have such a conducive environment for learning. The quality of education here is wonderful, and I feel that I have everything I need to work hard and achieve my dreams. I enjoy acting, singing, and dancing. My favorite subjects are Mathematics, English, and Physics. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and for considering walking with me on my journey.

I am hardworking, cheerful, and determined. I enjoy participating in school activities and I am passionate about my studies because I believe education will help me build a brighter future. I have three siblings: Maxwell (12 years old), Navine (7 years old), and AngelTriza (2 years old). We all live together with our parents in a small one-room iron sheet house in Dandora.

 My father works as a cleaner, while my mother moves around the streets of Dandora selling peanuts to earn a living. Although both of my parents work very hard, their income is not enough to fully meet the needs of our family, and at times we struggle to pay rent and provide basic necessities.

Despite these challenges, I remain hopeful and determined. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to study at Kinyago Dandora Schools, where I am working hard to achieve my dreams and build a better future for myself and my family.

 When I grow up, I want to become an accountant or a journalist so I can build a successful future and make a positive impact in my community."

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.
