Success Stories
In a world where there is so much need, our ability to impact even one life should not be taken for granted.
1. Meet Caroline.
Caroline is a student at Isaya Amonde Secondary School in Agongo, Kenya. She was orphaned when her parents were killed in a roadside accident and was brought to the school by a man from the community who she came into contact with.
Caroline is the youngest of three girls, and has gone from simply aspiring to live and possibly to marry one day, to aspiring to attend university to become a nurse so that she can serve the people of Agongo.
Thanks to the support of people like you, Caroline feels like she has hope and a future, as well as the power to make a difference in the lives of others.

“This school helped me a lot because, if this school was not here, my future life, I think, cannot be there also.”
— Caroline Adhiambo, Secondary School Student
2. Meet Byron.
Byron is a secondary school student who has been inspired by his teachers, and by access to computers and the internet, to study politics in Kenya. He hopes that one day, after graduating from university, he and his colleagues will use their education to influence the political climate of Kenya.
“For now, our country is so corrupt, so I have a dream if I learn, in the future, we might get a change, even from me with my colleagues who will learn within this school.”
— Byron Amondi, Secondary School Student
3. Meet Amilly
Amilly is an 18 year old student at Isaya Amonde Secondary School in Migori, Kenya. Amilly is being raised by her grandmother who cannot afford to pay her school expenses, but because of her sponsorship through Seeds of Joy Foundation, Amilly now has the privilege of attending one of the best schools in her region.
“I have a goal to achieve, I want to be a doctor.”
— Amilly Orindo, Secondary School Student
Amilly is currently studying biology and chemistry with the hope of passing her exams and continuing on to university where she would like to study to be a doctor. Amilly is extremely grateful for her sponsorship and for her high quality education that is made possible because of someone just like you!
