My name is Ismail Yusuf and I attend Hospital Hill High School in Nairobi. I am 15 years old and I attended ST. George's Primary School where I scored 335 marks on the KCPE. While I was in school, I experienced bullying from other students. There were also cases of theft in school. This scholarship program has helped reduce my parents burdens, as right now life is hard and everything is expensive. My family consists of 7 people and providing for such a number is a great challenge, but now that my school fees are covered, they can at least use the little cash they get on food or other house necessities. I now have a coach who is helping me with my soccer talent, and this is what I like to do in my free time.

My name is Jospeh Odhiambo Otieno. I did my primary school exams at Bar Olengo and scored 394 marks on the KCPE. I joined Tala High School which is located in Machakos county, Kenya. Tala is a good school with more than 20 teachers. The school is well organized and the teachers are friendly and teach well. I did a full test while in school and scored a B, with challenges in Physics and business studies. The scholarship program allowed me to be in school, as my parents are jobless and cannot pay school fees. For now I am at home due to the corona virus and studying here is really hard. I have a sister and we study together, but at times loud music from the neighbouring houses cannot allow one to study. I really thank God for the support and I promise to work hard to attain the best grades.
