About

Edith is the second born child in a family of four. Despite her humble background, Edith is determined to achieve her goals. Her mother, the only bread winner is unemployed and depends on casual jobs to take care of the family. Her father has been ailing and therefore unable to support the family. Edith dream is to become a neurosurgeon so as to help children and people with brain tumors. She is a keen environmentalist and enjoys planting trees at home and the neighborhood. She has also been doing community service programs including Matter heart run and Bishop Kioko hand walk in her school. Edith believes that the first step towards success is taken when you refuse to be captive of the environment in which you find yourself in.

Hello Debbie,
It is a privilege to receive your best wishes for me and my family.Fortunately, the government has directed for the phased reopening of schools on Monday, 12/10/2020. Being a form four student, i'm lucky to be going back to school. I am hoping for a fruitful school term. I wish you and your family all the best and hope that you keep safe during this COVID 19 pandemic.
