When Peter was ten years old, both of his parents died leaving him and his two younger brothers orphaned. The boys went to live with their uncle, yet the uncle mistreated them, forcing his nephews to drop out of school and work on his farm. Fortunately Peter’s grandfather stepped in at that point and took this grandsons to live with him in Mombasa, Kenya. They re-enrolled in school, but were constantly strapped financially with the mounting cost of school fees. It was then that Peter
banded together with some of his schoolmates and founded the 'Vikwatani
Talent Awareness' youth group.

Young people are often the most vulnerable, yet most valuable members of society. For this reason, OAIC—Kenya Chapter supports community-sponsored education initiatives through its Education and Training Department. The African Pride Centre in Nairobi is one example of the many schools OAIC-KE supports in order to train young children to become future leaders in their communities.
