I am Lutati Samwel, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust for the last 8 years. The trust’s support through my high school and college has been immeasurable. Working with Tumaini staff has been a remarkable and enlightening experience, as it boosted my creativity, enabled me to use the skills acquired and improved my patience and discipline. I cannot imagine a life without Tumaini Trust and its life-changing programs, and for this, I will be forever grateful.
My name is Jimmy Joel, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, pursuing Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. Tumaini Trust in the last 8 years, has not only been supportive but it has also opened doors that would have otherwise been closed. Since 2018, I have been interning with Valtra – Cassini and Tonolo LTD; my experience has been enlightening and I have learnt, by being acquainted to the working environment. Moreover, the internship has given me a competitive edge above my peers and boosted my resume.
My name is Maureen Wamuyu Maina, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, currently a student at Kenyatta University pursuing a course in Special Needs Education. Tumaini Trust aided me financially and psychologically by being of assistance during the difficult moments in my life. Being a child from a humble family near the dumpsite of Dandora the trust enabled me to access tertiary education. Tumaini Trust, as the name itself means hope, has gone a long way in unveiling the best version of myself by teaching me how to be appreciative and be ready to give back to the community. I hope someday, I will be able to nurture other youngsters from the community I come from.
My name is Ebby, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust and a student of Bachelor of Arts in International Relations at Mt Kenya University. Tumaini Trust has become a second family, as it not only takes care of my academic needs, but has also transformed the way I think, and I relate with other people. Tumaini Trust has moreover, taught me countless moral values, such as respect and commitment, has instilled discipline and shaped the focus of my goals. I am so grateful to this wonderful Tumaini Family.
I am Martin Omondi, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust. I have been in the program for 6 years and I am in the process of joining Kenya Medical Training College, for a Diploma in Registered Nursing-Mental Health and Psychiatry. Tumaini has taught me significant values, as generosity and the importance of giving back to the community. I have therefore, initiated a program to aid the less fortunate and through “Slum Girl Initiative” I have been able to buy and distribute sanitary pads and books. My wish is to see the growth of my project and be able to help more students.
I am Wycliff, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust. I am an alumnus of Kakamega High School and a Law student at Egerton University. My story is from Korogocho slum to the world.
Courtesy of Tumaini I interned at Mahida & Maina Co. Advocates; it was a dream come true. The latter experience instilled invaluable lessons, both life and career wise. It taught me professional ethics and ethos at an early stage of my profession. It was, moreover, an opportunity to practice the little knowledge I had gained in university. I further learnt to be part of a team success, to delegate and be delegated to, to learn and appreciate the beauty of being a lawyer and to show the world that even students from the slums can realize their dreams.
My name is Collins Okoth, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, pursuing Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management. Tumaini gave me the drive to support others in terms of education, counselling and mentorships. The trust has in fact instilled in me, the meaning of giving back to the society and to change another persons’life. I wish to do likewise through the CAS (Creative Active Service) hours; where I partake different activities that create impact in the community.
I am Faith, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, and I have just completed form 4 at Lwak Girls High School. The Trust has not just catered for my school fees but has also become a second family. Through the Trust’s academic trips to different universities we are inspired to work hard and be able to pursue our dream careers. Moreover, the mentorship program during our school breaks, features motivational speakers from different professional backgrounds, challenging us to think outside the box, have a purpose and reach for our goals. Lastly, through its social worker, the Trust also provides life skills and a widens our perspective.
I am Bob, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, currently pursuing Bachelor of Education Science at the University of Nairobi. I have been sponsored by Tumaini Trust, since 2016, when I was in form 2 in Butula High School. The Trust has been of great support financially, academically, and psychologically. It has also, given me a wider perspective of life. I have learnt the virtue of giving back and sacrificing for the sake of others. This has improved my personality as a young man; as it taught me to be a person of value, who can be relied upon in the society. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I in fact created my own initiative: “Pioneers of Transformation”, to deal with the challenges my community was facing.
I am Effie, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust; I am in my first year taking Bachelor of Education in Maseno University. I have personally, greatly gained from Tumaini Trust considering who I was and who I am today. The trust has guided me through my education, enhancing my moral standards, motivating, and advising me. The Scholarship programmes have also promoted my interaction with students from different parts of Kenya, which has helped me to understand the community better.
I am Joseph Kirenge, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, pursuing Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Nairobi. The organization has supported me both emotionally and financially, as I grew up in Rusinga Island, a fisher fork community, with a single mother. Through the trust, I have greatly gained and expanded my scope of understanding, as far as life is concerned. Moreover, by engaging in the internship program and working at Mama Lucy Hospital, Nobel Surgeons, and Rottcher Veterinary Surgery, I increased my exposure and skills needed in the job market. The organization has also, instilled the spirit of selflessness and hard work, as we are engaged in activities that give back to the community, as teaching in local schools and cleaning the surrounding environment.
I am Laura, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, currently a Mathematics and Computer Science student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. Tumaini Trust has been a learning experience, which has expanded my thinking, and advanced my perspective. The founder: Talitha, has also been a pillar, a mother and has shown us that life is not all about “I” but “we”. The most amazing part is the internship program offered by the trust. I interned in VFS Global Kenya and Valtract – Cassini and Tonolo; allowing me to perceive life from a different angle. I, moreover, learnt about international relations skills, teamwork, and time management.
I am Laura Purity Nyongesa a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust, pursing a Bachelor of Electrical and Communication Engineering at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology. Tumaini Trust has been a light in my worst moment of darkness, in which the chance of joining campus was meek. Through their generosity they cleared my high school fees, a major standing block to continue to tertiary education, fully funded my university fees, accommodation, and the necessary technical requirements: a laptop and a phone. I am glad to be part of the organization and I must do my best to be one of the future benefactors, to also touch someone else’s life.
My name is John Okoth Andhoga, I was welcomed to Tumaini Trust as a young, naïve student who had just completed his high school education.
I was raised as the eldest child in a humble background, therefore when I was offered the opportunity to join the University of Nairobi, to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine and Surgery, I felt the financial pressure that the course would have on my family. Fortunately, Tumaini Trust intervened and sponsored my 6-year course.
One program that has significantly contributed to my growth is the CAS (Creative Active Service) initiative; developed to educate on the significance of giving back to the society. Through the latter, I have learned the art of socialising, I have grown my own circle of friends and I have improved my confidence in the initiation of projects both in my academic and non-academic pursuits. All in all, I cannot be grateful enough for the substantial impact the Trust has had in my life.
My name is Loreen Mugeni, a graduate in Economics and Finance in Kenyatta University. I cannot begin to calibrate how grateful I am, to be a beneficiary. Tumaini trustees have advised and aided me to attain excellent grades and make better academic and life choices. Their mentorship, guidance, support, selfless dedication, and love helped me to become a better person, and I am thus, more inspired and determined to keep chasing my dreams. The internships secured by the organization, in the Accounting and Tax Department of Roedl & Partners, in the finance department of Valtract – Cassini and Tonolo, and at Ernest & Martin have been a great opportunity. I learnt more about accounting, taxes and practiced the skills I already had. As beneficiaries, I hope we will be able to give back to the community and support performing students, like us, from less privileged backgrounds, to keep Tumaini Trust’s legacy living.
My name is Catherine, a student at Pwani University pursuing Bachelor’s in Nursing and Public Health. I feel blessed and favoured to have won a golden chance to join Tumaini Trust. It has been the most amazing experience and I am grateful for Tumaini’s generosity. I have, moreover, learnt the virtues of teamwork, giving back to the community at large and the importance of commitment in my academic work. Thanks to Tumaini Trust my studies have been facilitated and with mentors life has become easier.
My name is Omondi Victor Onyango, a beneficiary of Tumaini Trust for the past 8 years. The journey began in 2015 in class 8; currently, I am a third-year student, pursuing my undergraduate studies in Financial Economics in Moi University. The trust has and continues to play a significant role in ensuring that I grow holistically and become a better person, to impact positively the society I live in. I in fact learnt the importance of giving back and I hope I will be able to continue do so, through the Tumaini Trust Alumni. This year I was awarded the recognition as one of the best ranked academic students in my course; it’s a small but significant step.
My name is Sophianne Wambui. My dream has always been to become a doctor and put a smile on those I help. Before Tumaini Trust came into my life I struggled trying to achieve my dream, as I was unable to procure my tuition fees. I had to do various odd jobs, even to cater for a few meals; I was on the verge of quitting my studies. Tumaini Trust funded my university fees, lifting a huge burden off of my shoulders and making it easier to pursue my goals. My grades have improved tremendously and I owe my success, to the support I was offered by Tumaini family. I hope, I will be able to leave a mark in people’s lives and one day help other performing students, who are struggling the way I once was.
I am Condoleezer Mayor, a 17 years old beneficiary of Tumaini Trust. Ever since I joined the Trust, my academic life has positively changed, as I have been in school throughout. I have also enjoyed the privilege of participating to a mentorship program and attending motivational talks by successful professionals. The latter has greatly impacted my performance and has given me the confidence to pursue my dream of being a neurosurgeon.
My name is Wesley Omondi and my experience with Tumaini Trust is a story of hope, character, boldness, and growth. I joined the trust in 2014, as Law student at Moi University. The trust moulded my character, shaping my perspective. They saw and have continued to see in me a light that I never knew I harboured. Over the past 8 years, I have been taught to appreciate this light, to hold it with pride and above all, to use it to brighten the paths of others who lack it.
Tumaini Trust has been a home, where safety and security are assured, where I can share and speak freely without the fear of judgement; It has been a home of love, warmth, encouragement, and positive criticism.
The Trust also focuses on the holistic growth of its beneficiaries, nurturing both intellect and talent. My first guitar was procured by the Trust in 2017, after having shown an interest in music; allowing the growth of my passion while being mentored on maintaining a balance with my academics. Conclusively, I can confidently say that I am an honest, hardworking, and bold lawyer today, largely because of the impact the Trust has had on my studies and my character.
