Siantayo is often away at school but our local Beyond Fistula staff spoke with her recently and she wanted to relay this message: "I want to say thank you to the School Fund and everyone who helps pay for my school. I have learned a lot this year and know it will help me be a great teacher in the future!"

    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.
