Kaptagat, Kenya
2nd year
Cornelius’ father passed away in 2005 from malaria. Cornelius and his two siblings remained under the care of their mother, who lacks a stable source of income. Providing for the needs of her three children was a big challenge for her, and then her brother-in-law chased her out of her late husband’s house. She lost the small property she had inherited from her husband. Cornelius was rescued to a Chariots for Hope Children's Home at the age of 4 and has now graduated from high school. He is attending Eldoret National Polytechnic School majoring in general agriculture.
