Help Gabriel Become a Teacher for Change

This month, the focus is Gabriel. Let’s help him achieve his schooling goal to help him help his community! The following is a letter from his father:

Dear Supporters,

I am reaching out with a heartfelt plea and an inspiring story of resilience, hope, and an unshakable dream. My son, Gabriel Lennox Ochieng, is 23 years old and comes from Wakinga Village on Mfangano Island, nestled in the heart of Lake Victoria, Homabay County, Kenya. Gabriel has always been a bright and determined young man, with a deep-seated passion for education and a dream of becoming a teacher.

From a young age, Gabriel has believed in the power of knowledge to transform lives. He has witnessed firsthand how a lack of quality education limits opportunities for young people in our community. His dream is to pursue a degree in Education, specializing in Chemistry and Biology at Moi University, so he can return home and empower future generations with the knowledge they need to build better lives.

But this dream is bigger than just Gabriel. It is about an entire community yearning for change. On Mfangano Island, many children struggle due to a shortage of qualified teachers in science subjects. Gabriel’s mission is to bridge this gap—to be the teacher who inspires, uplifts, and changes lives.

Sadly, financial hardship is standing in the way of his dream. The cost of tuition, transportation, and living expenses amounts to $2,480—this will be for four years since they pay 310 USD after every six months a sum that is simply out of reach for our family. But I believe that with your help, we can make this dream a reality.

Your donation, no matter how small, will bring Gabriel one step closer to his goal. It will not just change his future, but also shape the futures of countless students who will one day sit in his classroom, learning, growing, and believing in their own potential.

If you have ever been touched by the power of education—if you believe in the impact of a dedicated teacher—please consider supporting Gabriel today. Your kindness and generosity will not only change one life but will spark a ripple effect that lasts for generations.

Thank you for your support, your belief, and your generosity. Together, we can make a difference.

With deep gratitude,

Samuel Ochieng Odoyo
