Everlyne came to Achungo eight years ago.
Before that, she attended a public school where she often hid behind the bathrooms to cry because she could not pay school fees and was unable to take exams. Other students mocked her for not having shoes.
Her parents died soon after her birth. She lives with guardians and eight children in total. There is no steady income. Often, the family goes to bed hungry.
During school holidays, she would beg on the street to try to bring food home.
At Achungo, life changed.
“At Achungo life is very different and we never go to bed hungry,” she shared.
She received consistent meals, structured learning, mentorship, and exam preparation. She is now preparing to graduate from Pamela Mboya Girls High School.
Her dream is bold: to become a pilot — to provide medical care and build a stable home for her family.
Behind every uniform is a story like Everlyne’s — a child carrying far more than a backpack.
You can ensure students like Everlyne never have to choose between food and education again.
