Biography
Stephen is a friendly and disciplined young man. While he lost both of his parents at a young age, his grandparents raised Kioko and his brother to fear God, respect their elders and work hard. It has paid off and they have become fine young men. Sadly, the program that was assisting Kioko was no longer able to continue when he was a year into high school. To make matters worse, his grandfather passed away leaving Kioko and his grandma to struggle to provide for the family. Many times he was sent away from school until he could raise some funds. Kioko believes that with the help and support of a friend like you he will be able to overcome the challenges he faces and become an agent of positive change in his family and generation. Would you walk with him?
