About

Patrick became an orphan following his father's death in May of 2011. His mother passed away in 2001, and he and his six siblings currently live alone in a house that is a walking distance from Highway Academy. When he is not studying to become an engineer, he can be found playing football with friends. He is an extremely lively and passionate boy who loves to dedicate himself fully to his work. He hopes to one day study at the University of Nairobi.

I would like to thank the Wema community for supporting me through my high school education. I have been provided with sufficient reading material and a conducive environment for study.

I love playing football and volleyball. I also like reading novels.

I would love to be a lawyer in future as I am really good in my humanities and languages. I am prepared to continue putting in the work required in order to realize my dream and hope for your continued support during this course.

    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.
