Alumni Spotlight – Fred Mwangangi

My name is Fred Mwangangi James, and I have been a proud beneficiary of Kids League Kenya since my childhood in 2005. Growing up in a humble background with many daily struggles, I thank God that my education journey was never hindered. Kids League was always there, ensuring that every need was taken care of.

I performed well in my KCPE exams and was admitted to Shimo La Tewa High School for my secondary education. Because school fees were no longer a challenge, I was able to fully focus on my studies. Although life at home remained difficult, my strong and supportive parents encouraged me to keep going and inspired me to work even harder. In 2015, I successfully completed my KCSE exams.

In 2016, I joined Kisii University to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Purchasing and Supply Chain Management. Life at campus was tough, but Kids League continued to support me by providing pocket money every semester. This support allowed me to concentrate on my studies, and in September 2021, I graduated with Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

After graduation, I spent some time seeking job opportunities. In June 2024, Kids League once again came through for me by providing an internship opportunity in partnership with OCF, which led to my placement at Unity Homes in the Supply Chain Department. Through hard work and God’s grace, I was retained as an employee, and I am still working there to date.

I am not yet where I want to be, but I believe in hard work and perseverance. Challenges will always be there, but they shape us and help us grow.

I sincerely thank Kids League Kenya for standing with me and many other young beneficiaries. May God continue to bless this organisation. Special thanks to Madam Julie Nderitu, who has been my guide and motivator. Her words “keep pushing and never stop praying” have inspired me to stay strong and focused.

Thank you, Kids League Kenya, for making me who I am today.
