The Journey
Isaac’s life has been a pursuit of survival since he was orphaned at just fifteen months old. He lives in a 10×10 foot mud-walled room in the heart of the Kibera slums. In this cramped space, seven family members share a life where electricity is non-existent and a daily income of $2 must cover the needs of everyone.
Despite these overwhelming odds, Isaac has emerged as a “natural academic leader.” He didn’t just pass his exams—he topped his entire class. He has spent his childhood studying by candlelight, using his mind as a shield against the cycle of poverty that surrounds him.
The Vision
Isaac dreams of becoming a Medical Doctor. Growing up in an environment where healthcare is an unattainable luxury, he wants to become a “Cycle-Breaker.” He sees himself returning to Kibera not as a resident, but as a healer who can provide the medical care his community so desperately needs.
Immediate Need
A talented football player and strategist on the pitch, Isaac has the heart of a leader. He was selected for the 2026 pilot program because he has hit the “High School Wall”—the point where brilliance meets a lack of funding. Your sponsorship provides the full tuition and boarding necessary to move Isaac from a mud shack to a laboratory, keeping his path to medical school alive.
