About

Mary Nduta comes from Maai-Mahiu from a family of eight. She graduated from primary school in 2010 but she could not join high school due to the lack of school fees. Mary is being brought up by her single mother after being abandoned by her father when she was a small baby. She visited Comfort the Children International in July 2011 wanting a job so she could support her mother and siblings. Unfortunately, CTC was not recruiting at the moment and she was also under the legal working age. She is currently volunteering in the Malaika kids department (children with special needs) in the organization. CTC have elected to post Mary's bio to The School Fund site so that she may gain financial support for her secondary education fees for next year (2012). Her mother is unable to pay her school fees, even struggling to provide food for her children. Mary is polite, dedicated and determined to get an education to achieve her dream of becoming a Secretary. She prays that one day she may achieve her dream, becoming stable enough to support her family and change their way of living.

Hello Mary,

I agree with Aapo from Finland: only the sky's the limit for you! You will reach very high in your life, higher than you might even dream today.

Thinking of you!
