We are celebrating great success of one of our beneficiaries Margaret who joined university in August this year. She joined University of Embu where she is now taking a degree course in Bachelor of Education Sciences, a course that is going to take her 4 years. Margaret joined Sports For Change 3 years ago through her guardian who had heard about the organization love and support for needy and bright students.
Margaret was born and raised in Gaturi village Muranga County. She attended her primary education at Kiambugi Primary School where she did her KCPE in 2013 and scored 321 marks.With 321 marks she was able to get a place at Githunguri Girls’ high school but unfortunately the parents could not afford the fees charged by the school due to their low income. Her form one fees was paid by a well-wisher who later withdrew. This forced Margaret to drop out from the school of her dream to join a day school with scant earning resources but lower fees which the parent could afford.
Margaret mother got married when she had 4 kids. She is the firstborn. The foster father is quite interested with their mother but has no interest in educating the children. The mother is a peasant farmer who is living from hand to mouth. Being a hardworking girl, Margaret could help her mother after school with house chores after school. Margaret applied sponsorship with Sports for Change 2015 December when she was in form two. Her humility and her passion she had towards pursuing her dream career inspired us and took her to join the Sports for Change family. she was able to go back to a good boarding school Dr Kamundia Girls’ High School where she could focus more on her education. She sat for her KCSE last year (2017) and successfully completed with a mean grade of C+.
After completing her bachelor education Margaret would like to become
a teacher so that she can be able to give back to the society. We are very thankful for all you, our supporters for continued support. This young lady now has a bright future because you believed in our project and joined hands with us. We will be very greatful if you can consider gifting us this Christas season.
