PERSONAL PROFILE
DUNCAN ISAAC LIVMBATSI MAHANGILU
ST NO: 06-1393.
My Name is Duncan Isaac Livmbatsi Mahangilu born on 21st January 1972 at
Gaigedi village, Vihiga District of Western Province in Kenya. I am the
last born to Mzee Jeremiah Mahangilu and Mama Leah Nyagoha in a family
nine. I started school in 1978 at Gaigedi Primary school when my Daddy had
only two years before retirement from Kenya Railways. I knew Christ in the
year 1985 while in standard Seven and ever since God has manifested his
Love and Grace in my life
Our family migrated from Nairobi and went to settle on my father’s two-acre
land in the rural area. Life became a struggle to us as my father worked
hard to meet our school fees and to sustain the family. The only source of
income for us came from our small tea farm. In addition, my Dad had to sell
all his domestic animals to raise school fees for my brothers and sisters
who were in Secondary Schools. Two of my brothers never managed to complete
Secondary Education due to lack of fees. Those who managed to attend
secondary school didn’t score good grades as a result of the harsh
environment that we were experiencing.
I sat for my Kenya Primary Certificate of Education exams in 1988 and
scored 50 out of 62 points but didn’t manage to join a Government School
due to lack of school fees hence I joined a Community Secondary School.
Towards the end of my 4-year learning, our school was affected by tribal
land clashes that escalated in most parts of the Rift Valley and the entire
country. Most of us (the non Kalenjins) were forced to evacuate for safety
thus we could not attend classes because of the heightened tension. The
Kenya Certificate of secondary education examinations were interrupted and
halted for two weeks due to leakage. The Government and the Kenya National
Examination Council had to re-set another exam for us. However, I managed
to score third (3rd ) division grade.
In 1992, I moved to Nairobi and I lived with a relative as I searched for
employment. The only job that people with my qualifications could secure
was manual lobour in construction firms. I made a decision and began
working with a construction company for two years until 1994 when I got a
job with a computer services’ firm in Nairobi town. Splinter Commercial
College was my employer for two years where I served as a cleaner cum
messenger. During this period I used part of my wages to do short courses
in salesmanship’s and computer packages.
Consistently in prayers, God gave me a job with Daystar University on
January 1996 as cleaner cum groundsman. My hope for education advancement
was rekindled to serve the University because it had provisions for staff
development policy. Before my dream came to pass, retrenchment came. The
Management Board decided to do away with the none-core businesses where by
I was among the staffs marked to go in October 2003. My final dues after
retrenchment total to KShs 146,000 (one hundred and forty six thousands).
In 2004 April, I got admission to Daystar University (Student Number
04/0107) to pursue a Diploma Programme in Management and Development. I
raised my fees from the money I was paid in lure of the service to Daystar
University with the help of a sponsor from the US. As part of my attachment
project, I worked with Food for the Hungry International-Kenya (FHI) in
June to September 2005. I graduated in June 2006 with a Diploma in
Management and Development. After completion I immediately enrolled for the
Bachelors of Arts in Community Development during the June Blocks (Student
Number 06-1393). Unfortunately, my sponsor fell sick due to heart related
complications hence unable to support me. After my attachment with FHI they
gave me a contract of 1-year to serve as a Community coordinator cum
facilitator. During my stay I found an opportunity to serve the poor and
the needy in Kibera, Mathare, Korogocho, Kayole and other slums in Nairobi.
I worked diligently as if working for God. I am proud to have made a
difference to the needy for that one year up to when my contract ended in
February 2007.
