Juliet Nyausi attends St. Theresa’s girls school in Meru County, Kenya. She will graduate in December 2014. Juliet is a graduate from our partner at Lokusero Primary in the Maasai community of Il Ngwesi in Laikipia, Kenya. The vast majority of primary graduates from Lokusero cannot go onto secondary school since they have no secondary school in their community and must pay a great deal to attend a boarding school. She dreams to go to university which is practically unheard of in her community.
Tuition costs including room in board for one year (2013): 37350 Ksh (about $440 depending on exchange) This excluding extra expenses such as school uniform and transportation home during the holidays
My name is Leah. Iam an old girl of St. Theresa’s class of ’98. Am married with two adorable sons. Currently i live in Kisumu city where I do business. Mine is to commend Dave Cuddy for helping such bright minds from poor background like Juliet to acquire education.I believe the most valuable gift you can give a young person is education.Juliet, I believe you have the power to uplift your community’s standard of living because the place you come from has great potential for tourism related activities. Work hard and God will bless you. Education is power.
PS:by the way i also come from Laikipia county and my father once taught at Lokusero primary.
