My mom left when I was a baby.
My dad was only 19 — and everyone thought he’d leave too.
But he stayed. And that changed everything.
I’m Joey, and I was born with Down syndrome. My dad had no idea how to raise a child on his own, but he asked God for strength and learned everything step by step. We moved in with my grandparents so he could get help while figuring out what I needed. He took me to every check-up and therapy session. He learned how to help me talk, read, and grow at my own pace. While other guys his age were going out or building careers, my dad spent his nights helping me practice small skills that felt big to us. He chose patience over parties. Faith over fear.
Now I’m grown, and we’re still close. We cook, laugh, and listen to music together. Every day, I thank God he stayed. I wouldn’t be who I am without him, and I’m grateful he chose me.

Dear Lord, please help me understand Your will and keep me from straying from the path You have set for me. Guide me from any temptations and obstacles I may encounter today, and may my desires not hinder the fulfilment of Your will as I hustle for my betterment in Jesus’ name. Amen! 🙏🙏

"For institutional #WASH to be truly #sustainable, we need to consider the financial sustainability of O&M. Schools need to be empowered to manage their own #WASH systems, with alternative funding sources and strong stakeholder engagement." Nicholas Obonyo
