The story of Charles Owino is similar to that of many other children helped by the Alice Village, who for many years has been working in the slums of Nairobi.

Charles joined the project in 2010, at the age of 5, and was entrusted to AliceVillage when the family could not support him and his sisters.
Growing up in the village he always dreamed of returning permanently to his mother and sisters, whom he visited during the holidays.
Thanks to the support of the Association and his parents at a distance, Charles was able to study, deepen the passions of sports and music and have access to healthy nutrition.
After primary school, he was reintegrated into his family, continuing to receive support for his education and health care.
Charles studied hard until he arrived at the high technical schools of food&beverage and now thanks to Medac he was able to attend the school of #aifa that will help him find his way in the world of work.
