Edward Makori has achieved his childhood ambition of graduating from university.
In December he was awarded his BA in Economics from Masai Mara University, the end-result of years of hard work.
But when he was living on the streets of Naivasha, this was a distant dream.
"For lots of reasons, my mother couldn't look after me and I went to live on the streets. I slept under verandas, in tunnels and under bushes. Life was very dangerous and I started to steal. It was very risky because if I caught, I could be stoned to death. I wanted to go back to school, and shared my dream with my friends. Some laughed at me, but others encouraged me not to lose hope."
On 2nd June, 2004, Edward was admitted to the Sunshine Centre (lower photo) where we have cared for him ever since. on 20th December 2019, he graduated (topn photo).
"I thank God for His grace and Sunshine for giving me a second chance to prove myself. I also thank everyone who has partnered with Sunshine in supporting me to where I am today. May God bless them abundantly."
