THE ORGANIZATION
Timothy Wanyonyi upon graduating with a degree in law was just piercing into the Kenyan dream with hope to set up unmatchable standards in legal practice. Like many educated Kenyans, his life seemed promising and ever improving. However, in 1998, he came face to face with criminals who shot him, leaving him devastated, motionless and unconscious. With a young family and paralyzed in a country where disability profiling is rife, Wanyonyi knew that he was to trend in a rocky path with dark hanging clouds.
