Helen has done very well in school at Kicoshep, but she has had some serious health problems. Those were addressed through the clinic at the school. But she comes from a very poor family that cannot pay fees for school.
Franklin had the highest scores on the test. He has done extremely well in his studies. His mother was abandoned by her husband when he was 8. She also is sickly and barely subsists supporting four other children by selling fish in the market.
Clarice had very high scores on the qualifying test. She has been in Kicoshep School since first grade. Her father died two years ago in a road accident. Her mother is ill and has 5 other children to care for. She can barely provide food for them by selling some vegetables in the market.
Dominic has been at Kicoshep since preschool. He is very bright and scored well on the qualifying test. His father is a casual laborer who cannot always find work. In a recent road expansion in the Kibera slum, the family’s home was destroyed, and they now have to find somewhere to live.
