Siantayo is often away at school but our local Beyond Fistula staff spoke with her recently and she wanted to relay this message: "I want to say thank you to the School Fund and everyone who helps pay for my school. I have learned a lot this year and know it will help me be a great teacher in the future!"

    Matata

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
