My story

My name is Fikiri and am 16 years old. I come from a family of 4 boys and 5 girls. My father is serving a life jail term in prison. He had married 3 wives. I was left under the care of second wive who is our step mother after the death of my biological mother. Our step mother abandoned us went away and left behind her daughter. Currently i live with my youngest step mother. We were chased from our original home and we had to move to my fraternal uncles place.Our houses were burnt down and we were threatened not to go back. I was enrolled at Blessed Generation primary school and i am in grade four. I am happy because at blessed Generation i was given a chance to go back to school and chase my dream. I am given three meals a day something that had never happened in my home. I get breakfast,tea break and Lunch during the normal school days and i also get food after every two weeks.

Why Fikiri needs our help

Fikiri needs our help because she comes from a very destitute family. No one is ready to assist her because her mother passed away. One of her step mother abandoned her. The youngest step mother accepted her but is not able to provide basic necessities to all family members. She does manual job, which most of time is not available to cater for all the children. Due to low income, Fikiri and her siblings were out of school after their father was jailed. They used to Have 1 meal a day at times they could sleep hungry. For clothing, they depended on well wishers. After assessing the situation at home. Blessed Generation enrolled Fikiri together with her siblings in our primary school. where we cater for all of her education need including full school uniform and she receives good medical when need rises.

Fikiri 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.
