Special Feature: Venessa
Venessa scored a B (plain) in last year's final national examination and is awaiting joining university in September this year. She has been placed at Pwani University to study a bachelor's degree in Education.
Her determination and desire for education made her walk a distance of about 5 kilometers every day to and from Upendo to attend classes for 11 years; until she completed her primary school education.
In 2020, Venessa sat for her KCPE and scored 352 marks out of 500 marks and got admission at Matuga Girls National School and also secured a scholarship from Wings to Fly Scholarship programme – funded by Equity Bank Foundation.
Her resilience, hard work and determination is a testament of her excellent performance she achieved in her final examination.
Since the start of this year, Venessa has been coming to the project to volunteer and has been helping out on project activities including assisting the younger ones with their personal studies, helping the cooks serve food and general cleaning.
Your generous contributions have made this possible.
