Lucy

Why did we sponsor Lucy?

Lucy is the youngest in a family of three girls. Her father passed away in 1998. The care for the income falls solely on her mother. Initially with temporary jobs but in the end she gets a permanent job as a cleaner at Kenyatta University. She was fired in 2015 due to budget cuts. Lucy also graduated from high school in 2015, but her mother’s income is so low that a study is not possible. Between 2016 and 2019 she works in a shop, but due to Corona that will stop in 2020. Andrew, a member of the local advisory committee, hears about this and sponsors her, first with friends but later alone, so that she can start a 2-year training in catering and accommodation. She has completed her first year. From January 2023, Kids to School sponsored her. Lucy finished her study in January 2024.
