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!"
Hello and thank you for giving to help me! Match Day helped me have enough for my upcoming school year. I will work hard and make you proud. I thank you.

    Enoch Kisavi

    Kenya

    Enoch comes from a humble family of two and he is the first born child. His parents are unemployed and depend on casual jobs to sustain their family and thus unable to raise his secondary school fees. Despite staying home for most of the time throughout his primary education due to lack of school levies, his dream to become a mechanical engineer has kept her focused. Enoch has seen a number of people in his area struggle too much when their machines and engines break down and there is no one to help repair them. He would also like to help the needy and poor families support their children in becoming better persons in the future. His hobbies are drawing and taking photographs. He holds on to the quote that says the road to success is not straight.
