“Born in Nairobi in 1997, joined Kings of Kibera in 2009 and they have been like a family to me. They have supported me in everything both in my primary and secondary school education. In Kings of Kibera I was like the head, the prefect of the boys. After high school I went to college in blue industry Aquatic world and was certified as a lifeguard and a coach.

Kings of Kibera family has sponsored me through both primary and secondary education and currently I’m to join Kenyatta University to pursue my degree in fine arts.”
