With the rising instances of COVID-19 in Kenya and the lack of resources in the school system, Kenyan schools will now remain closed for the remainder of the school year, which aligns with the calendar year. Hopefully, schools will re-open in January, but the Ministry of Education has announced that all grade school students will repeat their grade in 2021, as students only received one of their three terms in 2020.

But as we waited, it dawned on me that I may never join college at all. I am a second born in a family of 3 boys. After my dad passed in 2006, my elder brother and I stayed with our grandparents.

By Edward O. Edward in 2010 showing off his love of soccer My name is Edward, and I’m a Civil & Structural Engineer, thanks to Ndoto. My story before Ndoto was quite a long and painful one. To summarize, I was a young orphan boy living with my grandparents. They did everything to take care of me. I went to a local primary school, but always struggled to get my basic needs like food, clothing, and even shelter.
