Frankline's Story

It’s after losing my beloved parents that I found myself living in the streets. Life was difficult there because we were marauding in order to get a piece of bread for the day.

I came to Nchiru Children’s Village to begin school life. Many school leaders gave us words of encouragement and taught us the importance of education. They boosted our morale. We had to persevere because all that we wanted was education. We didn’t have high hopes for secondary education [high school] but we were grateful for the struggles of our teachers who ensured that we continue. I struggled through by burning the midnight oil to ensure that my dreams came true. After completing my secondary level [high school] exams, I continued to work before I joined college where I trained as a teacher. I completed my Bachelor of Education and graduated with honors.

I remain grateful for the help of NCV and all the benefactors who gave a hand of help in my life because where I am today is because of those sacrifices made for me.
