My journey began when I lost my mum in 2007. Moving to live with my aunt in Mathare brought its own struggles. Poverty clawed at our heels, forcing me to find ways to survive. That’s when I started collecting scraps, in order to get something to eat. Kwetu became my sanctuary. There, I went through rehabilitation and found a chance at education. Ruai Primary School saw me through my KCPE exams. Despite my grades, Kwetu believed in me. Secondary school was the next hurdle, and that’s where Dr. Lang’o’s support came in. Dr.Lang’o has supported my academics since I joined form one until now I am in my final year in Masinde Muliro University of science and technology pursuing a Diploma in Social Work and Community Development. In a special way I would like to thank Dr.Lang’o and the whole Kilimani children’s clinic fraternity for your financial support and opportunity to be one among many who benefited from your program.
Kwetu Home of peace is grateful to the Kilimani Children’s Clinic for the support they have extended to us over the years. They have been supporting our boys in education and providing health check ups. We are looking forward to strengthening our partnership towards improving the lives of our boys
