job! All our projects are set up to meet<br />
an identified need while supporting our<br />
clients.<br />
We are about pushing boundaries,<br />
continuously challenging our capabilities<br />
by reviewing how we deliver services.<br />
Working in a family environment and<br />
having a laugh is our coping mechanism,<br />
while remaining professional.<br />
External organisations have also<br />
recognised the achievements of Destiny<br />
Support. This is evidenced by the awards<br />
and quality standards achieved in its short<br />
history.<br />
Looking ahead - what does the future<br />
hold for us?<br />
We cannot afford to be complacent. We<br />
still have a lot of work to do!<br />
While we aim to make a change for every<br />
client we serve, resources are high on our<br />
objectives list to enable us support more<br />
people and ensure sustainability. It’s not<br />
about numbers. It’s about the impact on<br />
people’s lives!<br />
I recall the then Mayor of Slough during<br />
the launch of Destiny Support in 2009,<br />
saying at the time, ‘It’s not about where we<br />
come from but where we are settled and<br />
who we serve!’ Coming from Kenya this is<br />
home and I have realised that I am in the<br />
right place to serve the community am<br />
part of.<br />
We are all equal, problems or any<br />
changes in our lives does not choose our<br />
backgrounds.<br />
We do not compromise our standard of<br />
service but continuously improve and<br />
learn through mistakes or errors. Those<br />
who care - help! I am proud to be in<br />
Slough and serving this community.<br />
Believing in our work does not guarantee<br />
success but if we don’t believe in our work,<br />
we are guaranteed failure! Success is not<br />
measured by the heights one attains, but<br />
by the obstacles one overcomes in its<br />
attainment.<br />
Our vision is to continue working towards<br />
creating a world that includes everybody<br />
in their community, where people can<br />
live independently and be respected as<br />
citizens who play a part in society. Destiny<br />
Support is a tested and working model<br />
that I hope to pursue and set up in Kenya<br />
and utilise the experience I have gained. I<br />
am currently in my final year of a Masters<br />
in Business (MBA) programme and will be<br />
undertaking my dissertation in Kenya to<br />
help towards my goal of running a similar<br />
social enterprise and hopefully help shape<br />
policies.<br />
Everyone matters - ‘we all need<br />
Significance, Security and Self-worth and<br />
hope to give back to those who have lost<br />
it’.<br />
Some words from Mother Theresa that<br />
inspire me a lot.<br />
People are often unreasonable and selfcentred.<br />
Forgive them anyway.<br />
If you are kind, people may accuse you of<br />
ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.<br />
The good you do today may be forgotten<br />
tomorrow. Do good anyway.<br />
Give the world the best you have and it<br />
may never be enough. Give your best<br />
anyway.<br />
