Boniface's Story
Boniface is the fourth-born out of six children. Boniface lives with his mother, step-father and his five brothers and sisters. Though his step-father sometimes brings food home, occasionally he disappears for days at a time and the children are forced to go hungry. When they get really hungry, they have to find ways to get food. Sometimes Boniface would beg for food outside a supermarket. But now, Boniface receives regular meals at our centre in Kibera and with support from Turning Point, he will join Standard 1 in January and begin his formal education. As well as playing football, Boniface likes learning with the other children at Turning Point and his favourite subject is Kiswahili. When he is older he would like to be a doctor. Turning Point’s Feeding Programme is vital for keeping children like Boniface in school, so thank you for your support.
