INTERCEDE, International

Meet Duncan Wanje Ziro.

In 2002, this goat herder in the dusty rural bush of Kenya received a rare invitation to attend one of the country's few universities. When Duncan received his invitation letter, there was much rejoicing in the village. No one in the family or the surrounding community had ever had such an opportunity. But the costs of a college education soon dampened the mood.

While Duncan Ziro was fortunate to receive such an invitation, the opportunity was completely out of reach for a young man who comes from an area where many are forced to survive on less than a dollar a day. The chances of Duncan ever finding the funding necessary to attend university were slim to none.

This is INTERCEDE’s story too. It is our desire to intervene and to help – to intercede – on behalf of young people like Duncan Wanje Ziro.

Duncan’s story is one of success because INTERCEDE joined hands with well-wishers around the globe to help him achieve his wildest dreams and to receive a university degree.
