Wenceslaus Njiri

Wence joined the program in late 2009. He was raised in Dagoretti, Ng’ando Slum where he lived with his grandmother, younger sister, and three other relatives.

He has always been active in all of the organization’s programs. While at college, he frequently volunteered to attend Saturday programs to play with the kids and offer mentorship to them. In 2018 when the SRH program was launched he quickly joined as a Youth Peer Provider (YPP) and has been facilitating SRH talks with all our students.

In 2017, he was driven to pursue a career in social work and community development at Kabete National Polytechnic by his passion for helping people in his community. Before graduating, he sought an internship in our organization. His determination and desire to help others were felt and hence got employed immediately after the internship. He currently serves as a Case Manager in the primary department and coordinates the Saturday program.

Tunda Lepore

Tunda was born into a polygamous Maasai family whose father had three wives, thus she has fourteen brothers and sisters in total. She grew up in a small village in Maasai land called Enaibelibel in the midst of the rich, beautiful, and sometimes biased cultural practices of the Maasai community. Being born female made her very vulnerable. Today she is one of the few girls from the Maasai community who was never circumcised and escaped being married off at a young age. Tunda is a university graduate with a degree in development studies.

Before joining our organization, Tunda worked with United Africa for Orphans and Widows Foundation in Uganda as a development officer. In February 2010 she joined our organization as a volunteer caseworker as a way of giving back to the community.  A year later she became a full-time case manager. In January 2013, she was promoted to Head of the Primary department.  She says she has learned a lot from the kids; they have become part of her life and given her life a different dimension.  She believes education is the backbone of success for any individual and for the development of any country.
