Transformation Story:

Rick* was a student at Kiamaiko-Ngei Centre. He comes from a single-mother household. His mother relies on casual work, which often provides a low and unpredictable income.

Rick was brought into Missions of Hope in 2012 when he joined grade three. During a visit to the community, MOHI social workers encountered Rick scavenging in the waste dump for items to sell.. He explained that he had gone without food for multiple days and had turned to scavenging to feed himself. His mother’s income was inconsistent, leaving the family without the ability to have regular meals.

Lack of sustenance and negative influences from misguided peers had led Rick to consider leaving home and living on the streets, causing him to abandon his education.

Upon enrolling in Kiamaiko Centre, with guidance, counseling, prayers, and support from the staff, Rick became an engaged participant during devotions, joined the debate club, and contributed actively to the soccer team. Even Rick’s academic performance witnessed remarkable improvement. Thanks to effective teaching, spiritual nourishment, MOHI’s feeding program, and supportive efforts, he successfully passed his primary school exams and progressed to high school.

After high school, Rick pursued electrical wiring studies at our MOHI Training Institute at Kariobangi. He now serves as a motivational speaker for his siblings and peers. Today, he stands as a role model within the community, inspiring others to overcome challenges and strive for success.

Rick is now 21 years old and actively participating in mentoring many of our students who graduated from high school and are in our MNARA program – an after-high school program at MOHI, geared towards mentoring and training young adults.
