JENTER AKINYI SIKUKU

Jenter says that it was a ‘miracle’ that she was connected with WE Care. Her family was living in a primitive tent having been displaced by flooding of the Nzoia River when we learned of her situation. Her parents depend mostly on small-scale farming and “at times they can't

even make a daily living.” She is currently completing her third year at Kiriri Women's University of Technology in Nairobi where she studies computer science.

“Being supported by sponsors who pay my fees and give me an upkeep monthly is really a privilege to me as it permits me to continue with my studies and promos and to work hard always for a better future.”

“Am so grateful since without you being supportive and always being there for me I couldn’t have been where I am now. Much thankful and may God bless you always.”

JOSEPH OWINO ODHIAMBO

“I have a lot of academic dreams to work on and also community engagements and initiatives.” He states that it is due to our unending support that he has the ability to undertake his many activities.

Growing up with a disability, Joseph continues to amaze us with his dedication, ambition, and determination. In addition to excelling in his studies of economics and statistics at Mt. Kenya University, he has been instrumental in raising awareness for issues affecting students with disabilities and promoting access and inclusion for them in all aspects of life.

Joseph has participated in numerous forums, TV interviews and conferences focused on the needs of persons with disabilities. In addition to his other activities, he was accepted as a member of the university Tae Kwon Do team that competes internationally.
