Annita Mwende Mbae

LIGHT FROM DARKNESS IN LIFE

My name is Annita Mwende Mbae and am 16 year age. I come from Muthito village and Maara constituency, I also come from Tharaka Nithi County I am a girl who is only supported by my diabetic mother. My father died 5 years ago leaving us fatherless. I have 3 siblings behind me who are all at primary school.

I was enrolled this year (2017) in this scholarship programme after a great struggle where this organization opened up my shuttered dream of becoming a NEURA SERGION and helping people of my age and raising the standards of our county. I am also a student at Kaaga Girls secondary school where I do study at my level best knowing that no gain comes without strain I also look forward to doing my level best at the end of the secondary course.

Before receiving help from the scholarship programme I had faced many challenges which included being chased out of school and it was only for the mercy and understanding of the head teacher that I settled down during the last term of which I read very hard despite the challenges and managed to score 374 marks and above

I got to know about the scholarship program when it was announced at the school assembly of which I thought it was going to enlighten my hope one day and become a lady of substance despite the many challenges I would emerge the best one day.

The scholarship programme has readily changed my life since I can read well and I thank them for the financial support they are offering to me my other siblings can also study although not stable for their education. It has also spiritually motivated me to work hard from where I was before.

My dream is to become a Neuro Surgeon in future days raised the standards of living of this country by helping people at my age . I would also have to become a business lady and do trade in internationally

My biggest challenges is trying to catch up with the time that i have lost away from schools that i can read and be ahead of others been our class. I believe in the almighty God that I can do so with the help of mi teachers I also believe that where there is a will there is a way and that hard work will never go unrewarded
