Ghetto Cannot Stop You From Going Where You Want To - Pastor Dorcas

Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has once again challenged young men to aspire to realise their potentials fully regardless of their backgrounds.

Dorcas, who is the spouse of deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, expressed her delight in the strides the boys in the country are making as regards fighting such vices as drug abuse.

She emphasised her desire for Kenya to have strong and bright boys and men who are determined to secure the future of the nation. 

“In every epoch of history, the satanic agenda is to destroy the boy child. The deliverance of this nation is planted in the boy child. The future hope of this nation is in you (boy students). You cannot afford to engage yourself in this drug menace, or the marriage of a man and another man. We must reject what is not in divine order,” she said.

To drive her point home, Dorcas went ahead to share her life story to encourage the boys, especially those from humble backgrounds not to look down on themselves.

“In the 1970s, I was living in Kiandutu slums, Thika Sub-

County and my legs were infested with jiggers. I have come to tell those from obscure backgrounds, it is possible, and nothing is impossible. A ghetto cannot stop you from going where you want to go. 

The lack of school fees does not stop you. Your dream and vision is valid. There is a God who can lift you from nothing to something,” she said.

Pastor Dorcas spoke on Saturday, July 15, at Dagoretti High School where she had graced an anti-drug campaign organised by the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA).

The function was also attended by the area MP, John Kiarie (KJ).

About 2131 boy students were taken through the dangers of alcohol, drug and substance abuse by officers from NACADA.
