Total Enrolled: 404 students
Total Unsponsored: 145 students

Nawiri* is a 17-year-old grade four student at the Kargi center. Nawiri joined us in 2017 and although she was old enough to join grade seven, she was not able because she had never been to school.

Before she joined the MOHI program, Nawiri was the designated family herder. She was always out in the grazing fields, all alone and with nothing but the animals for company. One day, Nawiri was kidnapped by a young warrior and he took her to his home as a wife. In an attempt to rescue his daughter, Nawiri’s father sought help from the local administration, his neighbors and even reached out to us. Our field officer joined the rescue mission and we thank God that the girl was removed from that unpleasant situation. Nawiri could no longer be sent to the grazing fields and we convinced her parents to let her join our school, instead of just staying at home, also noting that this would be for her protection. They agreed.

During the four years that Nawiri has been a student at our school, we have seen her mature in an all-rounded manner. She is well behaved, jovial and she gets along well with her teachers and classmates. She is also a diligent student who is dedicated to her learning and who portrays leadership qualities. She is a good role model to other girls and it is our prayer that she will pursue her studies well and have a better, brighter future.
