Naomi lives in Naivasha, Kenya with her 17 brothers and sisters. Her parents are farmers and they struggle to cover the costs of educating their children. Throughout Naomi’s life her education has been regularly interrupted which has led her to fall behind in her studies; she spent five years at secondary school instead of four as she had to repeat a year.

So she was delighted when she was able to start studying at the Naivasha Technical Training Centre (NTTI) to gain a Diploma in ICT. But sadly halfway through the course she had to drop out as she could not pay for the course fees. Thanks to a generous donor, we have been able to support Naomi so she can complete her course, without the worry of paying for her tuition fees.
Naomi’s teachers have commended her for her exemplary behaviour and commitment, as such she has been elected the head of female students at the college. Naomi is passionate about ICT and hopes to become an ICT trainer after completing the course, so she can help other students achieve their goals.

Madalo is head girl at Ntonda Secondary School in Malawi. Her parents are small scale farmers and she is the youngest of 7 children. She is the third child in her family to reach MSCE level of education thanks to the access to her school's IT lab. Being able to access quality IT education via the new e-Learning lab at school impacts her life enormously; she now has the opportunity to attain a place at university whilst her career and life prospects have been transformed.
