Ikoha Felix

RESCUED
I can’t thank God enough for saving me. My name is Ikoha Felix. I am 22 years old, I was raised up in Shanderema village, Shinyalu sub county, in kakamega county.
I come from a family of 7 siblings and am the 2nd born. My parents are separated which has been a great disadvantage to the whole family. I was enrolled in the NCCK scholarship programme in 2012 when I was in form 2 at Shanderema boy’s high school. Currently I am pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical university of Mombasa.
NCCK has saved me while I was almost giving up as a young boy in form 2. I would be sent home persistently to clear my school fees, this affected my performance greatly .My mother through a friend of NCCK got notified of the NCCK scholarship programme ,we applied and today I thank God I qualified and my fees was paid for upto form 4.
I thank God and NCCK that while in form 2 they started paying my school fees ,we also had meetings at the Regional level where I was empowered and encouraged to focus on my studies. By then I vowed to settle and study with a lot of passion which made me to score a mean grade of A- at my KCSE.
Since then I have kept the faith and hope to move on and make something out of myself trusting in the Lord for all things because he is faithful. Currently I am serving the Lord in the Christian Union in our school and this has influenced positively my family, friends and society. I will work hard to ensure that am successful up to the end so that I can help my family, society and nation and also to reach out to the needy just like I was reached to.
Currently I still have problems and issues in my university life but God has been faithful hoping that I will still make it out as before until I succeed.
Thank you NCCK, God bless you.
