Constant and his parents live in the Kawangware slum in a tiny single-room house made of iron sheets and timber. Both his parents work but their income is very little and doesn’t always make ends meet. Their home is humble, it has electricity but no access to water. They share washrooms with their neighbors and pay for water at the nearest vendor. They cook using either a kerosene stove or charcoal. Constant attends Gatina Primary school. He dreams of getting a good education and becoming an artist. He loves school but is constantly sent home because his family can’t pay the school fees and other expenses. Constants’ family believes better days would be ahead for him if he was able to have someone sponsor his education. During the recent interview exam, Constant scored 394 out of a possible 500, which shows how good he is at his studies. When he gets sponsorship, he will be able to join Jagiet Academy and work towards his dream of becoming an artist.
