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.

    Kenya

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
