About Me

Born in 1970, I grew in the larger Mathare slums of Nairobi Eastland's. I lost my father at a young age of 10,moved to live in the street with other boys before being helped by welwishers to complete high school. I came back to Mathare and lived a squalid life till 1995 when I receive d Christ I my life.Through friends I learned a trade in leather craft, later God called me into Ministry, I've been involved with orphans and the improvised children in Mathare ,giving them education and shelter through God's Daily Word Children center.

My Business

We are involve in providing cheap but quality Education to the Mathare community.
This kind of business add value to children within this community and helps us to take good care of the more than 50 orphans in our programme.
Running a school is not easy and definitely not cheap,in a month we need about 1250 dollars to feed the children and pay the staff.In a good month the fee collection can 1500 dollars, the extra 250 takes carevof our rent and utilities.
Sometimes we have used the extra to expand the center to help us have more fee paying kids to improve on income

Loan Proposal

We used the first loan to purchase a water pump.we shall use the second to lay down irrigation piping that will see us farm more and larger tracts of land.We shall need 600 feet of pipes at @ 10 usd pee 20 ft of pipes.This will make us farm even in dry weather
