Evanson Njeru – Compassion CBO Director

June 2002 is the time I came to the slum. I was working as missionary in Western part of Kenya but when I came to slum found the condition of children I resigned and decided to see what I can do for them.

In 2005 I started Compassion CBO School and gave it a name Greener Life. Priscillah joined me as a volunteer teacher and we married same year.

In 2006 I invited Compassion International and they partnered with the church I was attending then. I worked for them 3 years as a project member. I lived in the slum until 2011. We lived in a 2 metres by 2 metres shanty.

We now live 3 kilometers away. I go to the slum every day.
