Fruit of our labour

Kamau and Daniel lived on the streets of Naivasha for years, scrounging for a living at the back of a small hotel, and frequently in trouble with the police. Then, in 2004, they were both offered places at our newly-opened Sunshine Centre. And their lives changed...

With a safe place to sleep, a warm bed to sleep on, and plenty of good food, Kamau and Daniel thrived. While Daniel re-started school, Kamau enrolled on a welding course at Naivasha Polytechnic.

The years rolled by and both did well. Kamau found work driving cars and Daniel completed a teacher training degree.

During their recent visit to Kenya, Footsteps trustees Martin and Mary Print met up with both young men. Kamau is building houses for rent, and Daniel is working as a stock supervisor at a builders' merchant in town. And, most special of all, both have wives and children! 

How encouraging is that!
