A thank you message from six grateful students in Kenya as they receive their new laptops

Thanks to our wonderful supporters in the UK, at the end of 2024 we were able to provide laptops (including software) to six young adults from challenging backgrounds in Kenya, many of whom have faced abandonment, neglect, or orphanhood. These students have grown up with us and are now thriving in further education.
The students from the Kids Alive Independent Living Programme in Kenya were thrilled to receive their laptops and wanted to express their gratitude to everyone who made this possible. Given their challenging circumstances—having lived in abject poverty and experienced neglect—this is truly a life-changing blessing for them.
Having their own laptops will enhance the students' access to education and equip them with essential skills needed to succeed in an increasingly digital job market. Our Independent Living Programme is designed to help vulnerable children in our care transition into further education or vocational training once they leave school.
Here are some photos and messages from our extremely grateful students receiving their laptops, all thanks to our generous supporters in the UK.

"You have journeyed with me right from my early years and here I am at university level with a laptop. I’m so grateful!" Edwin

"Heartfelt thanks for the laptop you generously provided. It will make a significant difference in my studies. Your thoughtfulness and support mean a lot to me, and I truly appreciate your kindness." Emma

"Your generosity has not only provided me with a valuable tool but has also inspired me to work even harder towards my goals. I am deeply appreciative of your support!" Samuel
