I never imagined that one day I will be referred to as a learned friend. Many of the friends I had during my formative years who didn’t attend school due to a lack school fees are either in prison, deeply entrenched in a life of drug abuse, or, even worse, died. As a person living with albinism, as you can imagine, it also did not make life any easier. I was fortunate to be raised well by my parents, who instilled the right principles in me.

It was through these principles and the Foundation’s financial support that I completed my education and graduated with 2nd Upper Class Honours. I then went on to complete Kenya School of Law, passing the infamously difficult bar exams. I can now proudly call myself an Advocate of the High Court.

Beyond being a financier, through my journey with the Foundation, I learnt that I have a responsibility to give back my society. I have a passion for mentoring, to show others how to firmly grab any opportunity presented and pass on the principles that have carried me through. I too can play a role in giving people a second shot at life.
