Janet Kendi

A MIGHTY HAND

Am Jant Kendi aged twenty three (23) years old from Mburugiti village, Buuri Sub-county, Meru County. I was brought up from a poor background whereby I was the first born of a single mother. I grew up in a rented house in the village full of challenges like paying rent was a problem to my mum. Even the food to eat was a problem. When I reached in class Seven my mother passed away and I was left with a Three year old Girl who was also my sister. It was very painful to loose a mother and being left with a child bearing in mind that we had nobody to take care of me and my sister who was 3 years when she passed away. That was the year 2006 in the month of September. In 2007 I joined class eight , one day in our Church a neighbor called me and asked me some questions and I answered. I narrated my painful story and this person told me that he knows of scholarship programme which is under the NCCK and he told me to write a letter and I wrote. I thank God my letter was well replied by NCCK and I and my small sister were taken to Garbatulla Children’s Home back in April 2007. This is when I was admitted to NCCK Garbatulla Children’s Home together with my sister.

I thank God for NCCK because after completing my primary school, they supported me by paying my school fees from form one to form four at St.Theresa’s Girls Secondary School. After form four they continued paying for my school fees in college and in 2016 January I was given an internship at Kibirichia Boys Secondary School for four months.

I thank God because from where I was Internship I got a job till today whereby this job has changed my life story because of the salary that am getting at the end of the month. I always pray for NCCK for the good job they are doing to disadvantaged people.
