My name is Francis and I was born in Kasarani in the year 2005. I grew up in Kasarani and I have a family of one parent and four siblings.

My mother struggles a lot to cater our needs and pay for our school fees. I joined TAFA where we were taught on how to live in our hard lives and also learning from the Bible. We have a Coach who gives us advices and hope for life.

After TAFA I joined a school Lola Primary in Kasarani, since we all depend on our mother, the money was not enough for all of us, so even sometimes we sleep when our bellies are empty. My mother got work in a kiosk, selling potatoes and onions, to get income for us to stay in school.

My older brother had to drop out of school due to lack of fees and because of that, I thank God, my mother at her kiosk selling vegetables we can get food and uniform. My hope that I get, is that one day God will open the way and I will succeed in the future to change my background.

My mother gives me hope that I can be the one to change our home and life. She really wants out life to change.
