The Story of Lead the Child Lead the Child was founded by Pastor Ekabe Lukano in Kakuma Refugee Camp after meeting two hungry orphans who were out of school. Realizing many children faced similar struggles—scavenging for scraps and exposed to harmful habits—he sought to guide and support them. With church approval, evening sessions began to offer learning and mentorship. Zaki Bolis later branded the initiative “Lead the Child” and helped form a committee to sustain it through monthly contributions. Volunteers provided classes, creating safe spaces for children. From two orphans, it has grown into a community lifeline of hope and guidance.
