PATRICK KIGADI Kenya, 2000

With our sponsorship programme it is never possible to predict if a sponsoree will even find work at all. And within some of the countries where we operate, the students we try to help, have to endure war, famine, many different diseases and illnesses, loss of family, corruption and economic struggles of epic proportions. Patrick was one of many children who used to try and complete his homework before day light fell as his family could not afford Kerosene lamps. We raised enough money to clothe and keep Patrick in secondary school until he passed with flying colours. In 2009 he graduated from Jomo Kenyatta University with a degree in Mathematics & Computer Science.
