My Story

Victor, also known as Kiprono, was raised with his siblings by a single mother. His father passed in a car accident the year after he was born. For generations the family was homeless, living and taking refuge in forests. His mother would often leave the children, in her search for temporary work. The money that she could scratch together could never cover the cost of schooling, let alone food for the family. It was normal for Victor to go days without eating. Victor and his siblings were provided care in the Chariots home. In his younger years, Victor had a tough time adjusting. He would lash out at school, run away and was introduced to abusive behaviors in the community. Through careful guidance, Victor has changed his behaviors and become an exemplary young man! He succeeds in his grades and works part-time to send money to his family.
