How has Kenswed helped me
Rescued from early marriage
I am Charity Yiamat
I am the 6th child out of nine children – 5 girls and 4 boys. I come from Pakase village in Magadi, Kajiado County. A remote village nestled against Lake Natron at the border of Kenya and Tanzania, Pakase, named after a popular local tree, Pagase in Maasai. Magadi is predominantly occupied by the maasai community.
My journey
I sat for my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education in 2015 and received a score of 209, allowing me to enroll in a secondary school. S tayed at home for a year, waiting to go to school. My father informed me at this time that I could not be continuing my education due to a lack of school fees, and instead marry an old man. I decided to run away from home lucky enough, I was rescued.

My breakthrough
I was overjoyed that I was able to join form one at Kenswed secondary school to continue my education , thanks to the sponsorship program. Kenswed did not give up on me even after having a child while in school.
My aspirations
I aspire to create awareness and avenues for girls’ education in my village and community.
