My testimony
I was called to Dagoretti Boys
high school in Nairobi in 2012.
Due to lack of school fees I
decided to apply for Equity
Wings to Fly scholarship but
I applied very late so I did not
get the scholarship. I decided
to repeat primary school once
again. Due to God’s grace I
met a Good Samaritan who
promised to pay my high
school fees instead of me
repeating primary school.
She was working at KBC by then and she took me to
Dagoretti High School where I started form one in 2012 and
completed in 2015 with a mean grade of an A-(76 POINTS).
Unfortunately after completing form four my mother died
and I was left with my siblings and yet I was supposed to
continue with my education. I applied to join University and
after being given a place to study at the University I started
to look for a scholarship once again, this time on the internet
where I saw the ICPAK scholarship and I downloaded the
scholarship form and filled it. After submitting the form, I
was so happy and thankful to God when I was informed that
I was one of the few qualified applicants. Today I sincerely
thank ICPAK for the scholarship and more so God for he has
always answered my prayers.
