Elizabeth is a graduate of Mwanzo, who is attending Mudavidi Girls High School with the support of the Mwanzo High School Scholars Fund. She reflects on her experiences in high school.

I want to share with you a story that most women in my situation did not live long enough to tell. I come from a very humble background. My father was a peasant and my mother a housewife raising her 11 children.

Construction is finishing up on Mwanzo’s Community Center. We could hardly have chosen a better time to be building than these past couple years! These are difficult times for people in Kenya.

Scouting, sports, and after-school activities are a central part of life at Mwanzo Wetu Center of Excellence Academy, bringing joy and relaxation to their busy lives and helping students develop as whole human beings. Providing our schoolchildren a space for play is part and parcel of caring holistically for their growth. What a joy!

As our new Community Center comes into operation, something as seemingly simple as a meeting room will be meeting a dire need.
