David Kinyua
I am David Mutumiria Kinyua, from Turima, Tharaka Nithi County, where poverty was my childhood experience. I grew up in a family of six.
Being the first to complete high school and reach university, I carry the aspirations of my family. I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Geospatial Engineering at the University of Nairobi, with interest in Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning Satellite (GPS), and remote sensing. These drive my passion for technology.
As I was growing up, education was not possible, and I had given up. However, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) scholarship rescued me by paying my high school fees. I settled and focused on my studies, and attained a B+ in KCSE (Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education). Though I am struggling to raise the university fees, I aspire to empower vulnerable youth with the skills I am learning.
NCCK has been my rock, and I’m genuinely grateful. With their faith in me, I’m determined to surmount challenges, proving that perseverance and faith can transform lives and horizons.
