For a boy who found himself living on the streets at the age of 11, Andrew Owinyi’s story is one of inspiration.
Born in Mumias 35 years ago, Andrew was an only child. He went to live with his grandmother after his parents separated.
After dropping out of Standard Two, Andrew had no prospects for the future as far as formal education went. The streets were his only option.
“My grandmother could not raise school fees so I ended up in Bungoma Town where I loaded long-distance trucks,” he narrates.
