Mary's Story!

My name is Atieno, Mary. I take this opportune time to thank God and to write about my educational journey with Giving Back to Kenya (GB2K). I was enrolled in the sponsorship program in 2013 while in Form 2 at Bodi Mixed secondary school. I was fully sponsored by the organization till l did my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Exams (KCSE) in 2015 whereby l attained mean grade of B- which couldn't allow me to enroll in university as a government sponsored student by that year.
I requested a second chance to make another attempt at my secondary exams and l was granted. Indeed it was favour from the Lord! In 2016 February, I joined Sigoti Girls' where I did my KCSE for the second time and attained direct entry to the university. In 2017 September, l joined Kisii university to study Bachelor of Education Science option Biology and Chemistry. By the grace of God, l graduated with Second Class Honours Upper Division. Currently, I reside in Mombasa looking forward to Teachers Service Commission (TSC) employment as I work under board of management terms.

Finally, l give God all the glory and thank the GB2K organization. May God bless you!
