Ms.Lewinsky Imuhira Mariam

My name is Ms. Lewinsky Imuhira Mariam, am 24 years old and a beneficiary of
the Wema Foundation. I come from a family of four children and am the first￾born.
After the 2007 post-election violence, my family was severely affected and in
2009, we relocated to Bungoma County where I was enrolled at Highway
Academy. Unfortunately, my parents could not afford to fund my education and
the school helped me by enrolling me to the Wema Foundation. Little did I know
that Wema Foundation was the beginning of actualizing my dream of being a
lawyer.
I did well in my KCPE examinations and was enrolled to Lugulu Girls High
school. I am a living testimony of full school fees support by Wema foundation in
my highschool education. I did well in my KCSE and qualified for Bachelors of
Law at Kabarak University.
Wema walked with me through my university journey. I remember having lost
hope on whether I would join my university and whether I would pursue law.
However, Madam Teresa held my hand in ensuring that I would be supported to
the very end of my journey at the University. I vividly remember, Madam Teresa
calling me on phone and liaising to pay my school fees at the Equity Bank in
Bungoma and even helping me with money for shopping. I did not have a smart
phone with me at that time but she encouraged me to work hard in school. In
addition, she was the one who had advised me to apply to Kabarak University to
study law. I enrolled at Kabarak University with fully paid school fees and Wema
Foundation helped me clear my fees even at the end of my four years in Kabarak.

University,

I graduated with a Second Class Upper Division, Faculty of law class of 2022 Kabarak University. I was supper exited during my graduation, which was virtual, that my dream had come true and finally I am a Lawyer. I look forward to pursue further studies but currently am intern at a law firm based in Nairobi. Wema planted within me a seed of helping others and I purpose to give back to the community.

Am so grateful to Wema, thank you for helping me Actualize my dream.
