In October 2024, 28 students from Fountain of Hope School proudly completed their final national primary school examinations, marking a significant milestone in their educational journey. Their faces glowed with excitement as they finished their last paper on October 30th— the culmination of six years of hard work, perseverance, and resilience.
"I never imagined I would come this far and finish my primary school education," said Alice, one of the students, who credited her teachers for playing a pivotal role in her academic success. "I’m now confident that I will make it to university after completing secondary school and achieving my dream of becoming a nurse." Alice, who joined Fountain of Hope School through our Transition Programme after being out of school for two years, is now on her way to a future filled with possibilities.
All 28 students who sat for their final primary school examinations successfully transitioned to various junior secondary schools, a testament to the transformative impact of our education programmes. For us at The Turning Point Trust, this is a clear indicator that we are taking meaningful steps towards fulfilling our mission—restoring hope and transforming the lives of children in Kibera through holistic education.
This achievement reflects not just academic success, but also the power of opportunity, support, and community. It underscores the importance of our work in providing children from vulnerable backgrounds with the chance to realize their dreams and break the cycle of poverty.
At The Turning Point Trust, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve their fullest potential. Alice and her peers are living proof that, with the right support, every child can journey towards their dreams—one step at a time.
