About

My life has been difficult because my family is economically poor and have no good jobs. My parents depend on peasant farming. Through it they raise only a small crops which is not enough for the children to get basic needs. When I was in Ordinary level, I was frequently sent home because the school fees were not paid. Through the assistance of my neighbors, I reached the end of my Form four and passed the examinations. For myself, I believe that in order to get good life, it's better first to get education. My dream is to be a lawyer. In order to complete my dream I will need to attend school and acquire a degree. After that I would like to have a higher standard of living. Also I would like to open special school in order to educate students who are coming from poor families. My second plan is to help women in the community by providing to them education concerning life.

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
