Educational Support Led Timothy to Entrepreneurship


Our happiest moments come when we witness the seeds we planted bear fruit. We take in children who lack a sustainable way of living and give them the tools, support, and opportunities they need to succeed. Timothy is one such story  from a young boy facing uncertainty to a confident, independent entrepreneur earning a stable income and fully supporting his family.

Timothy completed his primary education successfully and smoothly transitioned into high school. Afterwards, he joined the Wildlife Research and Training Institute in Kenya, where he pursued and earned a diploma in Environmental Management.

Throughout his journey, both in and out of school, we supported Timothy with life skills training and development programs  including our well-known ‘Summer Camp’, where he learned leadership skills. Additionally he participated in computer training to enhance his digital literacy and career readiness. These experiences played a key role in shaping the confident, capable young man he is today.

Currently, Timothy is working at Platinum Art World and Tints, specializing in car accessories, vehicle branding, car identity services, and window tinting.

“The support I received from the program changed my life to become an entrepreneur ,” Says Timothy.
