Why IHOPEE? Education is the key, my life in brief I grew up in a family of sixteen kids. There were days that my family did NOT have food to eat while growing up. I am the first of sixteen children. My dad had to withdraw from school because of lack of fees. My mom grew up when girls were not allowed to go to school. Dad believed in equal opportunity and tried to help any of us who was ready to go to school. He worked so hard but could not afford to pay school fees, well wishers saw me through school. In Kenya then, girls were not so lucky at my age then to finish school. Kenya is a poor country. We lived in a one room house in Kibra, the largest slums in Africa. We shared an outside bathroom with another family. The house was divided by a curtain and all the sixteen kids slept on the floor. My mom had to talk to some neighbors. My father was the sole breadwinner and could not afford a bigger house or feed us well. But one thing he believed was education. He took loans and walked from work to home several miles, it was tough life. It was so hard My life right now is totally different. I am a productive member of the society. Education made a difference. I give, am privileged because of education and empowerment. Many great friends have joined me to help make a difference in the youth, children and women to change lives for the better through education . Help us make a difference today through healthcare awareness and mentoring and education scholarships. I pray I will be able to share the love and make a difference in just one persons life.
