As a proud alumnus of Steda Relief-Kenya, I am living proof of the life-changing opportunities they provide to orphaned and vulnerable children. My journey with Steda began when I lost my parents, and they embraced me with open arms, becoming my second family.
Today, as a recent graduate from the Technical University of Kenya, where I pursued a degree in Accounting, I attribute my success to the unwavering support and guidance I received from Steda. Steda Relief-Kenya’s commitment to my holistic development has been instrumental in shaping my future. They not only provided me with the basic necessities of life but also recognized the importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty.
From the early days of their home-school program to their continued investment in my academic journey, Steda instilled in me the belief that I could achieve anything I set my mind to. During my time at the Technical University of Kenya, I faced numerous challenges, both academically and personally. However, the foundation’s unwavering support stood as a pillar of strength, empowering me to overcome every obstacle.
The financial assistance they provided for tuition fees and study materials alleviated the burden on my shoulders, allowing me to focus on my studies and excel in my accounting courses. Beyond the financial support, Steda-Kenya also fostered a nurturing environment where I could grow and thrive as a student. The moral values and Christian teachings instilled in me by the foundation guided my ethical compass and shaped my character. Through mentorship programs and career guidance, they equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate the professional world and set me on the path to success.
Today, as I embark on my professional journey as an accountant, I carry with me the invaluable lessons and experiences I gained through Steda Relief-Kenya. Their investment in my education and personal growth has not only transformed my life but also instilled in me a deep sense of gratitude and the desire to pay it forward. I am determined to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in my community, just as Steda has done for me. I am forever grateful to Steda-Kenya for believing in me, supporting me, and giving me the tools to build a promising future.
Their unwavering dedication to transforming the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children is a testament to the power of love, education, and empowerment. I am honored to be a product of their incredible work and will continue to carry their mission in my heart as I strive to make a meaningful difference in the world.
