When Jean-Claude arrived at Kimbilio in 2013, he was an orphaned 14-year-old living on the streets. With Kimbilio's safety and backing, he persevered through primary and secondary school, eventually earning a diploma in electrical installation. Spotting his potential, Kimbilio sponsored his university tuition, and today, Jean-Claude has officially graduated as a Plant Production Engineer!
ean-Claude’s success shows what happens when street-connected youth are given long-term educational opportunities. Higher education breaks generational poverty and turns former street youth into qualified professionals who can lead and serve their communities.
Sponsoring university students requires ongoing funding for tuition, books, and living expenses. Your donations make these life-changing opportunities possible, enabling us to guide more young people from street transit to higher education degrees. Thank you for investing in these bright futures!
