My Journey with TIES Kenya

In 2021, after I completed my high school education successfully and passed KCSE exams excellently, I was placed to join Maseno University. My desire to pursue higher education was strong, but the financial reality posed a significant challenge. Being brought up in a humble background by an employed single mother in a family of 6 kids, managing to enroll me to the university was far beyond what she could afford.

Like many young girls in Kenya, I faced uncertainty about whether my academic dreams would become a reality. It was during this critical moment that TIES Charity became a turning point in my life. Being selected as a beneficiary of the TIES scholarship program marked the beginning of a journey that has shaped my future in ways I had never imagined.

Educational Support Beyond Tuition

With the support of TIES Charity, I enrolled in a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management with Information Technology at Maseno University. From my first year through to the completion of my degree studies, TIES Charity consistently stood by me through fully providing my school fees, partly paying my rent, meals and transport fees, and catering for all other academic needs.

Beyond Financial Assistance

TIES represented something far more valuable than just money—it represented a belief in my potential as a young woman and in the power of education to change lives. This encouragement motivated me to persevere through challenges, remain disciplined, and strive for success.

Each academic milestone I achieved was strengthened by the knowledge that I was supported by an organization dedicated to empowering girls through education. The organization's commitment went beyond funding; it was about seeing young women like me as agents of change and investing in our futures.

Graduation & A New Beginning

On November 14, 2025, I proudly graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management with Information Technology—a moment that symbolized not only my personal achievement but also the fulfillment of TIES Charity's mission to uplift and empower young women.

This accomplishment stands as a testament to what is possible when opportunity meets determination. My graduation was not just the end of a university journey, but the beginning of a new chapter shaped by the values and support instilled in me through TIES.

Responsibility, Gratitude & Future Vision

Today, as a degree graduate, I carry with me a deep sense of responsibility and gratitude. My journey with TIES has inspired me to aim higher, give back to society, and serve as a role model to other girls who may be facing similar challenges.

I am committed to using the knowledge and skills I have gained to contribute positively to my community and to be an ambassador of the impact that educational support can create. My story is one among many, but it reflects the powerful difference TIES continues to make in Kenya and other developing countries worldwide.

Through their commitment to girl's education, lives are transformed, futures are secured, and generations are empowered.
