He was later attached to Kerugoya for 1 month in the office of Social Services and Gender after which he graduated with a certificate in social work. After the school, he volunteered for 6 months at Anglican Church of Kenya where he was attached in the office of [OVC} Orphan Vulnerable Children living with HIV & AIDS in the society.

‘In the year 2011, I started my Diploma course which was going to take time 11/2 years and in the year 2012 I was through with my studies but before I graduated I went for an internship at Isiolo which took 3 months with an organization known as Christian Community Services where I was attached in DRR Disaster Risk Management team’, said Naaman.

After that, he got a job with a leading company in Embu known as Dubai where he worked as a manager until January 2014 when he can to learn about Kenya Kids Connection Ministries. ‘I came to learn about KCK through one of his directors Mr. Benjamin Mugambi who then introduced me to the director Rev. Humphrey Muthengi. I was interested in what they were doing for the kids and learning about the social worker vacancy I applied and after the interviews I was informed that I had passed, ‘said Naaman.

Naaman is also a born again Christian who gave his life to Jesus in 2001. He attends his service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in Embu town and has been serving as an elder in the Youth department ministries as student representative and also he served in the post of treasurer for about 6years until 2013 when he thought it wise to leave the treasurers seat to the upcoming generation.

He could not hide his joy as he is focused in doing exceptionally well in meeting his dream in Kenya Connection Kids and that is what completes Naaman as person.
