My story

My name is Henry and i am 16 years old. I come from a single parent family. I am the first born in our family of 4 boys and 1 girl. I dropped school after death of my father who was the bread winner to our family. I stay with my mother who is unskilled does minor jobs in the village to get us food. Life at home became unbearable and got a good Samaritan who took me as a care taker so that i can get food and a place to sleep. I visited Blessed Generation for assistance and i was enrolled in class 7.

Henry 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.
