Success Stories

Below are three success stories of some of our recent graduates to brighten your weekend: 

"Growing up, accessing education was not easy for me. However, everything changed when my mother visited the Children of the Kingdom office and asked for assistance with my school fees. That support gave me the opportunity to pursue my passion—I had always dreamed of becoming an agricultural officer.
After completing high school, I wasn’t sure how I would make this dream a reality. Thankfully, with the guidance of Children of the Kingdom staff, I received the direction and support I needed to achieve my career goals.
Today, I actively participate in outreach programs with the Turkana County Government, educating pastoralist communities about animal diseases and how to prevent them. As I graduate with my diploma in Animal Production and Health Management, I am deeply grateful to my sponsor, Terri Lloyd, for believing in me and walking alongside me throughout this journey. Thank you for being there when I needed someone to hold my hand."  -Chota Eregae 

"As a child, I liked school, mainly because of the meals provided, but without food at home, staying in school became difficult. Eventually, I chose to live on the streets, where  I could scavenge through garbage to get food. 
One day, everything changed. I hitched a ride traveling from Lodwar and ended up at the Children of the Kingdom office. When I arrived, they welcomed me with food, took my photo, and encouraged me to return home with my mother. This moment marked the turning point in my life.
The next day, I didn’t return to the streets. Instead, I walked straight into a classroom after years of being out of school. That was the beginning of my academic journey—a journey that taught me endurance, commitment, and the power of education to transform lives.
Today, I am proud to have earned a diploma in Water Engineering, and I am determined to continue reaching greater heights. I am deeply grateful to Children of the Kingdom and my sponsors—Brian and Lisa Hamon along with Jamie Vallocorsa and George Adams—for ensuring my school fees, transport, and upkeep were always taken care of. Your support has shaped my future, and I pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly. Thank you for making my destiny bright!" -Anderson Lokutan 

"After losing my parents, my future felt uncertain, and the hope of attending school seemed out of reach. My uncle took my siblings and me into his family, giving us a chance to go to school.  Life at school was good, and I was able to complete high school despite the challenges. However, with my uncle supporting both his own children and us, further education seemed impossible. But God had a plan. My uncle, a preacher in Lodwar town, reached out to Children of the Kingdom, and through their support, I was able to join medical college. Despite the hardships, I remained focused on my dream. I chose resilience over discouragement, believing that God would make a way. Today, I am proud to have graduated with a Diploma in Perioperative Theater Technology—a rare and much-needed skill in our county. This role not only allows me to assist in life-saving surgeries but also gives me the opportunity to share God’s love with patients before, during, and after their procedures. I am deeply grateful to Children of the Kingdom and to my sponsors, Rachel and Aaron White, for their love, generosity, and belief in my future. Thank you for making this journey possible!"  -Sharon Liwan
