CARREN JEBET
I Caren Jebet, sixteen years of age from Sacho Baringo central sub county Baringo County. I am from a family where all my parents are jobless. We are four in my family and all of us are enrolled to different institutions. Having the four of us in different schools, and lack of enough financial funds this lead to constant sent off school due to late payment of fees or even paying the fees required for the time or even having a huge balance of fees.
I was enrolled to NCCK sponsorships programs early this year, two thousand and seventeen. The NCCK team started paying my fees early January this year. Am in Secondary school; Sosiot School in Kericho.
My school fees balance was much, so I was constantly sent home for fees and I could barely stay at home for utmost four weeks. I could miss a lot of lessons and most of the times I would arrive at school when the other students are ready to start their end of term exams.
I got to know about the sponsorship programme through a friend of my mother. She insisted that my mother should try and see if I could get sponsorship. But through the ups and down’s I was able to maintain my mean grade of B- and below. I could not sleep until I make sure that I have made up all the lessons I had lost.
By the NCCK paying half my school fees, it reduced the chances of being sent home for fees. This increases my study time hence my grades constantly improving. I have a positive attitude towards the project as it assists me in my educational field hence increases the chances of passing my exams.
The time of study has increased hence enables me utilize time and ensure to perform better and improve in my performance through this it enabled me to learn how to pray for I had lost hope on my educational field due to constant lack of school fees.
I would like to pursue my studies in medicine field. My challenge is C.R.E but my parents have tried their bests to buy the supplementary books which assists me in my C.R.E subjects.
