Keep a student in school

In 2022, twenty-three scholars at Affecto Foundation’s Watoto Wasome program sat for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), marking the end of High School education.These are students who began high school in 2019. We have had mentorship programs, motivational trips,catered for their school fees and scholastic support;uniform,personal shopping and books.

It has been a worthwhile journey. We have seen them grow, we have reprimanded them, and eventually,all our candidates qualified to join higher institutions of learning.

Owino is one of the students who did KCSE In 2022. When he joined Affecto Foundation’s education program, he was a timid young man with low self-esteem. He could hardly articulate his thoughts. Owino’s roots are not stable either. He has had challenges coping with family wrangles. Poverty alone was not the enemy, peace rarely dwelt in their homestead. Not once did he have to call Affecto Foundationto to  come to his rescue.

With all these hurdles working against Owino, he managed to excel academically. He scored a B- in his final examinations and he can’t wait to join university.

He is planning on working in a local primary school before he joins university.

He is an ambitious young man, and we have no doubt that he will improve his family’s livelihood. With the skills learnt from the mentorship workshops at Affecto Foundation including President’s Award, which is the Kenya’s chapter of the Duke of Edinburg’s program,we are confident his future is luminous.

Affecto Foundation is honored to be associated with the GlobalGiving community. We would not have seen the victory of the twenty-three students from cohort three without your support.

You are part of their success stories.The$1,259.92 raised helped us in a big way.

Thankyou!
