Ochanda David Oduor School of Hope Alumni
In 2014, God brought forth a way of escape for our problems when I was first introduced to Mashimoni School of Hope. The learning environment was far beyond that which I had ever studied in, and that very year that I sat my Class Eight National Examination (KCPE).
