Ilcy plans to do well academically and she wants to eventually own her own business and employ other people in her community in order to help with the unemployment rate. She has two sisters and lives with her parents, but her parents struggle to make ends meet. Her parents are also charitable, and despite their own economic problems they take care of 3 orphans. Ilcy is driven to succeed and hopes to attend Kenyatta University after graduating secondary school.

Bill Clinton is passionate about science and hopes to study the sciences at a higher level. He is also an all-around knowledge seeker, who is determined to acquire a complete understanding of every school subject in order to make an informed decision on exactly which area he will then pursue. He has been raised by a single mother who runs a small business, through which she was able to pay his school fees, his uniforms, and his books. Bill Clinton is an avid football fan. He loves playing the game and hopes to continue doing so wherever he ends up in life. Finally, he is very socially conscious and acknowledges that no matter how small or large his salary is in the future, he will always donate a portion of it to those in need.

"In the future when I finish school, I would like to help orphans and needy children of Kibera and Kenya at large. I wouldn't like in the coming years to see children of Kibera suffering and not going to school. My goal is to change the slums and upgrade it to make it a better place for children and the people of Kibera. I also admire England very much and when I finish school, I imagine myself going to university in England to become a journalist. I promised myself to work hard in my studies so that I can be a journalist. Journalism is my dream and I believe that when I work hard I can make it. "

My hobbies are reading, going for picnics, and playing with my friends at home and in school. I also like participating in school activities, especially sports as I am very active. When I grow up I would like to become a journalist and go to many places to learn different things.

I come from a family of 6 living in the informal settlement of Kibera in Nairobi. I attended Kibera Primary School and now am a student at Koroko Secondary School. I am an active student in class and extracurricular activities. At home, we have no access to clean water, healthcare, or sanitation, and affording two meals a day is difficult. This scholarship is the only chance I have to go to school. I want to study hard to get good grades so I can join a top university, and I am very thankful for this opportunity.

"In previous years my parents managed to borrow some books for me, like text books. Uniforms and fees were problems. Sometimes the teachers had to send me home until I could get the school fees from my parents. In my family we are 5 children, 1 boy and 4 girls. I live with both of my parents, and we are not well off. But they struggle in other ways to get educated. My plan in academics is to always achieve above a B. And even after school I want to be a doctor, because that is what I dream of for my career. My imagination in 10 years is that I want to be a good and successful person so that I can help others."
