My story
My name is Damaris, and am 16 years old. I come from a family of 6 brothers and 5 sisters. I am the Second last born in our family. My parents died and i was left under the care of my grandparents. I school at Blessed Generation primary and now am in grade 4 together with my brother. I am happy with Blessed Generation because when i came i was not able to read nor write but now i can read,write and even speak english.Why Damaris needs our help
Damaris needs our help because she stayed for many years without going to school and nobody was willing to assist her. She used to help with house chores at home.
They sort for assistance from Blessed generation and was enrolled her in our primary school. During school day we provide her with breakfast, lunch and her family receives food after every 2 weeks. Sometimes her family comes to get water from Blessed Generation especially during the dry seasons. Damaris is a hardworking and she is a good role model to the other girls in her community.
Damaris is supported by impact partner Blessed Generation
Blessed Generation is a Kenya-based Non Governmental Organization (NGO) registered as a Charitable Children's Institution. From Kenya she gives children in need a chance for a good future. Education plays an important role in our help. It is the key to the future. Blessed Generation offers children primary and further education and, where possible, supports vocational or university education. We consciously choose not to stop supporting after primary school. Further education and thorough social emotional guidance by our qualified social workers significantly increases the possibilities of a vulnerable child and reduces risks such as crime, radicalisation and teenage pregnancies.Sponsor Damaris
