Feed 200 Children Living in Kibera Slum

Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into place – Quote

When he first set foot in Turning Point, Tyson had no idea of what was happening around him. He was young and the realities of being orphaned at a tender age had not dawned on this energetic boy.

Tyson is the last born child in his family. After the death of his parents, he settled in with his siblings who became his guardians. Life was tough as his siblings had no permanent employment or source of income. Their survival depended on the little his siblings managed to get from doing menial jobs. 13 years down the line and Tyson is ready to sit his final Kenya Certificate of Primary School exams. His journey made possible by Turning Point who have supported him through our children’s centres and through to Primary School. At Turning Point, Tyson has made a new family and is able to get education and daily meals to help him in his day to day activities.

As others wait for the Christmas holiday, Tyson will be waiting eagerly to receive his KCPE Exam results and pursue education into Secondary School. Also a talented football player, Tyson enjoys the annual camps organised by Turning Point as they give him a chance to make new friends, make merry, display his exeptional soccer skills and share his story with others like him. In the future, Tyson hopes to provide a good lifestyle for his siblings who gave him a chance to be educated when they themselves could not.

Tyson is just one of the hundreds of children who have benefitted from Turning Point's Feeding Programme in Kibera. Providing daily meals to Tyson has been a huge help to this family with no parents or guardians to put food on the table. Thank you for your support, you have made a huge difference in Tyson's young life.
