My story

Am Jeridah and i come from a single parent family. I have a brother and four young sisters and we all stay together. Am 13 years old in grade 4 at Blessed Generation primary. I stay with my mother who does minor casual jobs that are not paying well to get us food. I used to accompany my mother to do casual jobs so that we can have something to eat. One day when we were sitted at home. Blessed Generation vehicle stopped near our home and found out that we had dropped school and offered a place in their school. I am so happy and greatfull that i can communicate well in english and i have learned very many new things.

Jeridah 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.
