Meet some of our children
Every teenager we have taken in to provide support comes from an underprivileged family background where parents are either casual laborers or subsistent farmers with low incomes that can barely sustain their families. Some teenagers have experienced the loss of either or both parents and have had to be raised by their relatives, but no matter the challenges, they still have a beam of hope that someday, they’ll achieve their dreams. We hope will consider walking with us to support them.
Brigit Kwena Akello
Brigit from Nakuru whose dream is to become a lawyer, is the 6th born in a family of six. Raising eight children with very little income has been the biggest challenge for Brigit’s parents. Due to the financial struggles that her parents face while raising eight children, we considered Brigit to join the Oasis family as one of the beneficiaries to support her in achieving her dreams and to ease the financial burden for her parents.
Before joining Oasis, Brigit was a student at Harambee Khalsa primary school in Nakuru where she sat for her KCPE(Primary education). She hopes to join Langa Langa secondary school for her secondary education.
John Heho Kinuthia
Sadly, John lost his mother to cancer. His father, a subsistent farmer, does his best to meet his children’s needs while still providing emotional support. A lack of a stable income due to low crop production, and sometimes no production at all, has often made it difficult for his father to cater to their needs.
John aspires to become a neurosurgeon. No dream is too big, no challenge is too great, and nothing he wants to achieve is beyond his reach.
Stephen Ndambuki Mwaivu
Stephen is the second born in a family of four. His family went through one of the most painful experiences when his father was brutally murdered by unknown people leaving his mother to take the role of the breadwinner. Without hesitating, after the death of her husband, his mother put together the little money that she had and started a small second-hand clothes business to try and make ends meet. While she tries her best to continue to fend for her family, most of the time, the money she gets from her business is never enough to cater to all her family’s needs. Stephen’s trauma from his father’s death was evident when he joined Oasis center. He had to go through counseling for some time, and we are so glad that he is now in a better place emotionally and spiritually. Stephen’s dream is to become a mechanical engineer, and we can’t wait to see him achieve this dream.
