Last month was exceptionally special for the Children
of Kibera Foundation family. Zainab Hussein, our pioneer scholar from Kibera
Primary 2007, State House Girls 2011, Stanstead College PG 2013, got a full
university scholarship to Lafayette College class of 2017 in Pennsylvania ,North
Eastern United States! This was after a lot of patience and persistence. Zainab follows in the footsteps of our very own Kenneth Okoth who
was awarded a similar scholarship to St. Lawrence University in 1997.
Ken’s journey from Kenya to New York, Washington and back to Kibera as a champion for empowerment of children and young people through education has been greatly inspiring and to see students he has mentored like Zainab make it to University is indeed a great achievement as we move forward. John is another one of our amazing scholars! He is our scholar from Nairobi School class of 2012 and was awarded for his exemplary performance in his KCSE for attaining a mean grade of an A.
