Pursuing a Dream of Affordable Healthcare

 affordable healthcare

My name is Faith, and I’m a 16-year-old student. I love dancing, reading novels, and playing hockey. In fourth grade, I joined the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, and because of their support, I was able to attend Nelson Mandela Academy, which is one of the Programme-Focused Schools. Currently, I’m studying at Precious Blood Riruta and I am in Form 3.

I like biology and chemistry the most because they allow me to think critically. I enjoy exploring the complexities of life and trying out chemical reactions. During my free time at school, I like to read and hang out with my friends.

I want to pursue a career in medicine and help people who can’t afford expensive treatments. I plan to establish a medical facility that fully funds treatment so that everyone has access to quality healthcare. What motivates me is making a positive difference in the lives of others.

I’m determined to use my knowledge and skills to bring about change in the healthcare sector. Empathy, compassion, and dedication to serving the community are the values that drive me toward making a lasting impact. With hard work, perseverance, and the support of Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, I believe I can accomplish my dream of providing affordable healthcare for all.
