My name is Emmaculate Mutuku, born and raised in Kilungu, Makueni County. I have been raised by my grandparents since my parents went to Nairobi in search of employment. I’m from a family of four, and both my parents are jobless since corona period. Our firstborn brother has just gotten a job, and our third born is still in search of employment having completed her degree in education.
Throughout my life, I have developed a passion for Science and luckily enough I fell in love with chemistry back in high school. This prompted me to choose Biochemistry because it is wide and has a wide range of opportunities. And true to my passion, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor in Science (Biochemistry) degree at Kenyatta University.
But all this would not have been possible without the scholarship by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK). The scholarship has helped me get through high school studies. I have reached thus far because of God through the NCCK.
Even though I struggle to pay university fees, I aspire to bring hope especially to the young people who feel low because their dreams and visions seem to be dying due to lack of support.
