About

A first born in a family of five, Zena is setting the academic bar for her younger siblings high. She is working smart towards becoming a doctor, she says: "I want to contribute to the world, when I see people suffer from diseases around me; I always feel I want to help in their treatment." Secondary education in Kenya is expensive. Her parents' total income cannot comfortably settle all the bills and pay for the children's education. Scholarship will enable Zena achieve her dreams and escape the poverty cycle that ensnares many children in Kibera.
