My Story

"Hello! My name is Junior Miguel. I am very humble and excited to be a student at Kinyago Dandora Schools. Our school has important facilities like a library and a computer room, which are very helpful in my education. I enjoy playing football with my classmates, and my best friends are Francis and Anthony.

What makes Kinyago Dandora Schools special to me is the inspiration and encouragement we receive from our teachers. I especially enjoy studying Business Studies and Physics. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and for considering walking with me on my journey.

I am always excited, friendly, and outgoing. I enjoy learning new things and working hard in school because I believe education will help me achieve my dreams. I have three siblings: Brian (12 years old), Hope (6 years old), and Mercy (8 months old). Unfortunately, my parents recently separated, and we now live with our mother in a one-room house in Dandora Phase IV.

My mother works very hard as a hairdresser to provide for our family. However, there are times when she goes for long periods without getting work, which makes it difficult for her to earn enough income to support us. As a result, our resources are very limited.

Despite these challenges, I feel happy and blessed to be studying at Kinyago Dandora Schools. I am committed to working hard and studying smart so that my dream of becoming an engineer can one day become a reality. This opportunity truly feels heaven-sent to me."

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.
