Ephy

Like many other kids, when Ephy was of age she joined kindergarten and now she is at Gentiana Primary school where she has been attending school. Ephy lives with both her parents and a small brother a year and one month old. Ephy’s parents depend on casual labor for survival, however, the father is the only one working currently as the mother stays at home due to her ill leg and to nurse the younger brother. These casual jobs are not promised each day making it hard for the father to sustain the family as well as keep Ephy in school.
They live in “mutego” a small community in Kenya, in a single room made out of concrete and timber that curtains have subdivided. The house is furnished with two beds, thus Ephy sleeps on one of the beds while the parents sleep on the other bed. The house is also furnished with a seat close to the door and a table at the center of the house. At the corner of the house is a kitchen space where they keep their kitchen utensils and prepare meals. They make their meals using gas that was lately launched by the Safaricom Foundation. The house is connected to electricity which they pay via tokens thus making it easier for Ephy to study in the evenings.
Ephy is a good dancer, dancing is a gift that is inborn in her. She says after she completes studying she will be a professional dancer. Ephy loves Gymnastics, during her leisure time this is something that she enjoys doing. Ephy’s best subject is Mathematics, her favorite food is red meat which she loves when dry-fried and fried eggs. Ephy is not only a calm girl but also a go-getter.
When she gets sponsored she will join Ngando preparatory which is one of our focus schools.
