Promise is a 14-year-old primary six student at Nyaka Primary School. Both of Promise’s parents died of HIV/AIDs when she was just two years old. After the death of her parents, she went to live with her 82 year old widowed grandmother. Unfortunately, Promise’s grandmother could not provide for her basic needs, this included paying for school fees consistently. Promise’s grandmother enrolled her in Kambuga Primary School where she was only able to study for a month before she was sent home by the head teacher for school fees.
Gratefully, in 2017, the Nyaka recruitment committee accepted Promise into Nyaka Primary School where all of her needs are met including uniforms, meals, medication, etc. Promise nor her grandmother have to worry about school fees and she can focus on achieving her goals of becoming a nurse.
Thanks to our generous supporters, many Nyaka students have a chance to receive an education. When other schools say no, we’re able to say yes because you care deeply about their futures!
Thank you for ensuring students like Promise receive the resources they need to learn, grow and thrive.
