About

Mwongeli ("Janet") is the fifth born child in a family of six children. Her father passed on in 2003 leaving the burden of educating and supporting the children to their mother who is a peasant farmer. Although four of her elder siblings managed to go through secondary education through support of well-wishers, there is still a huge outstanding fees balance in the secondary school where they attended. Consequently, they never got their secondary school certificates meaning they could not proceed with further education nor get any formal employment. They do casual work for a living to support their mother in bringing up the family. Despite her humble background Mwongeli is a very confident and hardworking girl who passed well her primary education at Miini Primary School and was top in her school with 369 marks. She has been admitted to join form one at Kathiiani Girls secondary school, which is a national school. All through her primary education, she has been top in class and has won many academic prizes. She loves school because she says she strongly believes that education is an important tool to empower her to be successful in life. She wants to study hard to realize her dream and become a pilot one-day. At her age, she understands the consequences of lack of education and so one of her passions is to be successful in life so she could help her family as well as other children in her community to gain good education.

Hello Janet!

Sorry it has been a while since we last wrote. The students have been back to school for about a month now. My daughter Katie is adjusting well, as I suspect that the other children are. They grow up so fast!

We are happy that you have made it this far in your studies and look forward to the day you graduate! Good luck this semester and let us know how it goes!

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
