On October 24th, we had the pleasure of celebrating our Decade of Dignitas journey with our partners, friends, donors,teachers, board members and staff. This celebration was an opportunity for us to reflect on our achievements, our impact and our strategy going forward. Our guests came in their numbers and enabled us to have one of the most successful events yet!
The Dignitas team is grateful to all of our partners who have made our story a success. Thank you for supporting our work to enable children thrive and succeed. We have all the highlights from our event that we would love to share with you.

Our Board members are committed to the Dignitas vision and they work relentlessly behind the scenes to ensure that we achieve our desired impact. We appreciate the Board as they played a major role in making our Ten Year Anniversary event a success. We also had the pleasure of hosting our Co-Founder, Tiffany Cheng Nyaggah who flew all the way from California to Nairobi to join us for this special occasion. Ten years ago, Tiffany and our other Co-Founder, Bobby Lee came together to start something that they believed in. An organization that would seek to transform education opportunites for marginalized communites. Today, the Dignitas vision has expanded and we have reached upto 23,000 children in ten communities. At the start, they both did not know how far Dignitas would go or how much they would accomplish. But look at us now! We are gearing up for an even greater season of impact as we look into 2019 and beyond. (From left to right: Dr. Perry Devani, Board Member, Tiffany Cheng Nyaggah, Co-Founder, Dr. C.S.
