Duncan Ndereva

A GREAT DEAL

My name is Duncan Dereva Kiambi. Am 18 yrs old. I come from Kirindine village in Nkomo location Tigania West sub county, Meru County. Since I was born, I have been in this county without any movement.

My family is not well doing financially and appreciated for the support of NCCK scholarship. Both my parents are jobless and they try to get their little income from a small scale faming. Our farm is too small that cannot really support us as a family bearing in mind the season’s dryness this day. I got the scholarship in 2015 and I was payed my first fees in the first term of my form three class in 2016. Right now am through with my secondary education and it’s my hope I will be enrolled in university when the results will be out.

Before the intervention of this scholarship, the situation was to worse that I could stay home for many weeks at home when asked to go for school fees. The hope came and helped me to come back in school and stay in school always.

Sometimes I could stay home with a huge balance but since the intervention of this scholarship I got better in my performance since I could stay in school always.

I had a very positive attitude towards getting this scholarship immediately I got documents claiming to help any needy students. It was in 2015 in term three of my form four when documents were delivered in our school. I was asked by the Director of studies to apply since she knew my fees problem. I applied, trusted in God and I was a beneficiary.

My life has changed completely since I got the scholarship. My spiritual motive has benefited. In school was the deputy captain academics since I was consisted in school and my academics was fairing well.

My dream is to fair well in academics, do a good course in university, may be a Medicine or engineering Course. After am through I want to start organization of sponsoring students who are needy immediately am financially stable.

I know there are challenges but what I believe is that with God everything is possible.
