This year, I focused on excelling in physics and chemistry. I hope to become an engineer one day, and my teachers have been very encouraging. I also joined the school’s environmental club, where we promote tree planting. Thank you for believing in me!

    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.
