About

Sheila is the second born in a family of three. A very outgoing girl who takes any challenge that comes her way with confidence. She lives in Kibera slums with her family. With both her parents depending on menial jobs to make ends meet, funding her education is stretching her parents' income to the extreme. Having financial assistance to complete her studies will ease of the pressure from her and give her ample time to concentrate on her studies and continue working towards becoming a top lawyer.

Hi Chiku,
I am doing fine. Sorry i never replied on time. We just finished our mocks and are still waiting for the results. The last few weeks have been my busiest both in school and at home. How is everything on your side. Hope you are having a fabulous time wherever you are.
Lemme know how you are doing.
Regards.

Sheila.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
