I live with both of my parents and they own a small piece of land which we till and the produce helps sustain the family. This is usua;lly not enough most of the time and we supplement it by my parents doing some other menial jobs as casual labourers. At times we had to interrupt our studies to help out our parents. I love playing soccer.

Has both parents, both doing menial jobs to survive. They sell charcoal but since a ban was imposed on charcoal buiness, family has resorted to looking for other means to draw income

I lost both parents. My mother died when I was young and my dad died later and I didn't get a chance to know him. I therfore live with my uncle who has other children to take care of and has made him it difficult for him to cater for our. I hope to be an accountant some day and this requires me to attain the highest level of best quality education.

Sylvia would like to be an archeologist and her favorite subject is Mathematics. She is working hard in school so that she may succeed and help her younger brothers and sisters achieve their goals. Sylvia, is the first born in a family of children. The are brought up by a single mother who is a hairdresser in their local market in Bomet-Kenya.

Brought by both parents, his mother is the only one who was involved in his upbringing. Mother does menial jobs to make ends meet for family. Believes he is a good writer.

I come from a pastrolist community but over theyears we have had to diversify our means of income. My father works as a security person in a nearby homestead and my mother runs a small grocery shop to supplement my father's income. I am the first to attend high school in my family and it means a lot to me. I hope to inspire my younger sibling and hopefully, other girls in my community.

Hails from a family of 8 children. Father works as a casual labourer and his income is usually with the huge fees to be paid for children in high school and colleges. Mother is a housewife. Jackson is aspiring to be an accountant making him to work hard in Mathematics.

I was raised by father after the death of my mother in 2009. She was the family' breadwinner and this proved very difficult for us. In primary school, I was supported by well-wishers and they were not able to extend the help beyong that level. I dream of being a doctor and help people in my community and Kenya at large. Hopefully, my influence will be some dsy felt across the globe.
