About

Purity comes from a family of six siblings; 3 brothers and 2 sisters. She is the fifth born child in her family. She lives with her parents who do casual jobs to cater for the family needs. Her elder siblings dropped out of school due to lack of school fees. Despite the challenges that she faced, her dream of becoming a doctor to treat her ailing mother, who always complains of severe headaches and pneumonia, has not shattered. Purity hopes that one day she will get her family from the shackles of poverty that they are in and she believes that where there is a will there's a way.

Hello donors,
Its my hope that you are doing well and good.
On my side, I am fine and well. We have broke for
term two holiday and I thank the almighty for taking us
through the term. The term has been so busy and I am so glad to
inform you that we were able to catch up with time, after the
heavy floods that interfered with our studies here in Kenya.
Of course, our school chief principal had to change the
school timetable so as to cover the time lost during the
disaster. Therefore, the students had to put themselves in
her shoes.
This term, we also participated in games and
we managed to proceed up to county level.The music club also
won a trophy and they are now proceeding to the national level.
This term, the weather has not been so favourable to all and a number of students have just found them selves very sick with pneumonia and colds.
A few weeks ago, we experienced a mild earthquake in our area but
I thank the lord for keeping us save. During this holiday,I am going to spent much of my time studying as the adage states,if you want to go to the moon, aim at the sun.
Lastly my heart felt gratitude goes to you all for your big support in my studies and may the lord bless your pockets abundantly. I wish you all a blessed day.

    It was 2009 when I started standard 1. I was very happy to start primary level. When my mother died, it was really painful to me. It is a gap which will never be filled in my heart. After the funeral, I continued my studies. I am thankful I completed the term and passed the exam to standard 2. When I was in class 2, my father was my hope but after my mother's death, he changed and did not take care of me. Instead I was raised by my relatives. In 2010, my father died too and I have lived with my grandmother ever since. I was my parents' only child. Because of these challenges, I have learned that education is the best of all worldly things, better than money which gets used up. Education is the best heritage. I will never give up the chance for education. I really appreciate being selected as a scholarship beneficiary of The School Fund. I will work hard, very hard, to achieve my dream and help less fortunate people

    My dream is to become an accountant and I will get there by studying hard. The moment that I felt proud of myself is when I learned that I passed the Standard 7 National Exams. The happiest moment in my life is when I was selected by the Ebenezer Seminary for my secondary school education. The most difficult experience I had is the death of my my best friend. He died of malaria. Malaria is a disease that can be treated. My friend could be alive if he got proper medical treatment. I learn from his death that we need to help our poor friends with their basic needs. I plan to help the orphans to make sure they can reach their dreams as I will. I will also contribute some of my salary to help the disabled people after my dream comes true.

    Carmen is one of our most dedicated students. She attends all of our events and meetings, and is eager to begin her studies. After graduating high school, she worked as a waitress in Puka Rumi, one of the best restaurants in town. Here, under the mentorship of renowned chef Alejo, she fell in love with the art of cooking and hopes to someday open her own restaurant. In her spare time, she is an athlete. Her favourite sport is volleyball, and she was the only female to compete in last year's Ollantaytambo weightlifting competition! She comes from a humble campesino (rural indigenous) family. Since her father passed away 16 years ago, she and her nine siblings have since been raised by her single mother.
