About

My mother died when I was still young. We were left with my father, who later married a second wife and decided not to provide for us proper education and food. My late mother's sister took care of my siblings and me. She was just a job hustler and nevertheless she agreed to move on with us. She took me to a primary school and I was able to score good marks to progress to a national high school. When my aunt heard about the scholarship from her group members, she encouraged me to apply for the chance, after which i was successful as one of the scholars of the SHOFCO program. Both my aunt and I are so grateful to the SHOFCO families and wish them long life.

My name is Maimuna Mairum from ST. Francis Rang'ala school, currently I'm in form 4. The major challenges in school mostly have been theft cases and lack of adequate learning materials that are needed from students, Bullying has been in school as well. Corona virus has messed up everything. I came from a needy family hence the little my parents get we spend on food, I have achieved much through SHOFCO organized programs as at now, i have always attended the mentorship programs that helped me build my self esteem and courage to face life challenges. Lastly I want to thank you for the help you have given me throughout my secondary education. I have never been sent out of school due to lack of school fees and this has as well motivated me to work more hard since the little my parents get now can be used to feed the remaining family members. I must be a great person after education and join SHOFCO to help other needy students in the community, especially big slums like Kibera.
Dear Mainmuna,

I was looking for a student to sponsor and your picture and story captured my attention. I am interested to know how you fair with your school/exams and future plans.
Wishing you all the best and do keep in touch if you wish.
God bless

Asina
