Michael would have been a great candidate for Kijabe Practical Garage, our vocational training center. However, he lived in Nakuru—two hours away by car, or half a day by matatu—making that option impractical.
After many discussions with Michael and his mother, we agreed that vocational training was the right path for him. He dedicated himself to his studies, and in December, he sat for his Grade III Light Vehicle Mechanics test. In late January, we received the exciting news—he passed! This is a powerful example of how making an exception to our usual approach can yield exceptional results.
Just this past week, we approved funding to support Michael as he continues his training for more advanced certifications. If you contribute to Shepherd’s Little Lambs, you are a part of Michael’s success story, and we are deeply grateful for your support.
