Student Sponsor Profiles

Eunice Adhiambo

My name is Eunice Adhiambo. I come from Nyanza Province of Kenya. I am aged 16, and I am in Form One at Bahati Community Centre Secondary School. We are four in our family. I am an orphaned girl. My father died when I was only twelve years and I have gone through many difficulties. These problems have affected my education and my personal life.

However, I thank God for enabling me to achieve my first goal in life which was to complete and pass my Primary School Education. I scored 320 out of the maximum 500 and got an invitation letter from Bahati Community Centre where I am getting my secondary education right now. But when I look at my situation, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring as I have no one to pay my school fee. I would like to finish my studies and get a degree in Law. My dream of becoming a lawyer has been with me since I was a child, even though I come from a poor family. I know God has a plan for me.

If only I get a sponsor who can pay for my scholarship, I promise not to let him/her down. When I get my degree, I will help the needy in everyway I can; I will also become somebody’s sponsor. At the moment, my aunt is the only person trying to support me as my mother lives up-country, but she doesn’t have a job; she washes clothes for the rich people in the nearby estates like Jacaranda, Komarock and Saika in order to earn some money for our up-keep.

I am praying for God to touch a good Samaritan for me.

Yours sincerely,

Eunice Adhiambo.

Elizabeth Tabitha Ngandi

My name is Elizabeth Tabitha Ngandi from Kitui in Eastern Province of Kenya. I was born in the year 1996, the second born in our family. Kitui is a semi-arid area and we are poor because our parents are farmers but there isn’t enough rain for crop production.

I joined Primary School in 2002 and did my KCPE in 2010. I never repeated any class in primary level. I scored 256 marks out of the maximum 500. We sat for the KCPE exams the two of us, my brother Benjamin and I and both of us have reported to Form One in Bahati Community Centre this year 2011. Our parents are not able to raise the fee for both of us. Even though we have paid the fee for this term, we don’t know what will happen in second term.

I would like to become a pediatric doctor to help children. I promise not to let my sponsor down.

God bless you as you help me achieve my goal in life.

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth T. Ngandi.

Veronica Mumbua

I am Veronica Mumbua. I came from Eastern Province. I was born in 1996 and my father died in 2009 when I was 13. I am the first born in a family of three with a single-mother. My mother got married to my step-father who is the father of my younger siblings. Three years back they broke up due to domestic violence. This made me go to live with my aunt in Western Province. I attended Khwisero Pri. School for one year where I sat for my KCPE exams and scored 289 marks out of the maximum 500. because of these family problems, I stayed for a whole term without learning. My mother now earns a living by plaiting hair in Nairobi but the salary is not enough to provide for our basic needs.

I joined Bahati Community Centre in Form One this year, but I don’t know what the future holds for me, as I am not sure of retaining my place in the centre next term due to finances.

God bless you as you help me achieve my dream of becoming a lawyer.

Yours sincerely,

Veronica Mumbua
