I farm maize and beans, which also supports my family.

BACKGROUND & CALLING

I grew up in a small Kitale settlement where education was scarce. I often studied under a tree. That experience made me determined to change the story for others.

PASSION & TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Children must know where they come from to value where they are going.

CHALLENGES & NEEDS

We lack proper classrooms and enough learning materials. The students have to share a few textbooks among themselves, and also some of them have torn uniforms and can't afford to buy new ones.

DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE

I hope to establish a small resource center like a library in the school with maps and history books.
