About

Vaati is the third born in a family of four. His father has been ailing and cannot perform heavy tasks. His mother has been supporting the family through casual jobs. Vaati dreams of becoming a doctor in future because he wants to help the less privileged like his father to access medical services. Covid-19 pandemic was a blessing in a disguise for Vaati. When schools were closed indefinitely, he used to wake up early in the morning to study and revise. He also attended the online classes. He utilized the opportunity well knowing that every cloud has a silver lining and emerged as the best student in his school. He enjoys playing football. Knowing his purpose in school was his secret advantage.

Hello, Vaati!
Thanks for the update . It’s my privilege to be able to contribute to your school fees and I am happy to be able to do so.!
I just returned from a month in Kenya visiting a small preK-JSS school run by a close Kenyan friend. Many high schoolers were on break and I enjoyed visiting with them and hearing about their studies and their hopes for the future.
Congratulations on completing the KCSE! I know this was a lot of work to get to this point and hope the results will open many doors for you.. What are your plans from here?
