PATIENCE WAITHERA
Mwangi St. Francis Suwerwa Girls School

Patience is a 14 year old girl who was born on the borders of West Pokot, Elgeiyo Marakwet, and Trans-Nzoia Counties. Her parents are peasant famers who undertake menial jobs to survive. She has 4 siblings, two who didn’t proceed to high school because they lacked the fee.

The siblings are now engaged in child labor…they pick tea leaves in order to assist their parents. They own barely an 1/8 of an acre of land.

Patience sat for KCPE in 2023, and we enrolled her at St Francis Suwerwa Girls High School - situated on the borders of three counties West Pokot, Elgeiyo Marakwet and Trans-Mzoia
