Biography
Kelvin is a friendly and joyful young man. He is currently in grade 7 at Kakuma Primary School. At home, he lives with both of his parents and four siblings. Due to their lack of education and lack of work for unskilled laborers, his parents work as casual laborers and wake up every day to look for odd jobs in the community to see that their children receive an education, but due to a lack of sufficient funds, this has not been achieved. With the capabilities and the potential in this young man, we have confidence that he can become the best around his homestead. Would you be the one to walk with him?
About Kelvin's Home: Turkana
Turkana County is a part of Northwestern Kenya located in the former Rift Valley province. Turkana is majorly arid and semi-arid, and the climate is very hot and dry making farming and supply of food a constant challenge. This county is also marginalized due to poor infrastructure. The main diet in these areas is not predictable since they rely majorly on relief food. The main language spoken is Turkana and the primary religion is traditional African beliefs. In recent years, both Christianity and Islam have also been competing for the hearts of the people here. *Because the people of Turkana county largely depend on livestock and relief food, they are still semi-nomadic and though the schools help create stability, there are still times when a family moves and we are unable to trace them.
