Check out our latest globalgiving page raising money to help Ombisa study to become a nurse. If you’ve been following Turning Point for a while, you may have heard of Ombisa before; he features in out testimonies video.

Ombisa joined us in 2004 having had a tumultuous start to life. Despite this, he has taken hold of life and grasped the opportunities given to him. Turning Point has helped him through primary and secondary school, where he performed well and got good grades. Now, with your help, we can give him the chance to further his academic abilities and study to become a nurse. This will be a first step to realising his dreams of becoming doctor. He’s excited about it and so are we!

Ombisa is aiming to start in March when Nairobi University next takes admissions to study nursing. We’re keen to give Ombisa this chance of continuing his education but in order do this we need your help. Please do have a gander at the globalgiving page, share it among your friends, put the link on facebook and donate! This is your opportunity to support an ambitious student from Kibera and make a real difference to his life.

FYI: Turning Point has a fundraising page with some simple steps on how to successfully raise a bit of money for Turning Point. Why not test out our steps by holding your own fundraising event for Ombisa?!
