The scholarship was pivotal for me to acquire an educational position that has helped me develop myself and acquire skills that have helped me compete at a global level. Some of the achievements and passions that I am pursuing today were today were born in a high school dorm room when HBEF was sponsoring my high school education.

"The scholarship program has been pivotal in shaping my personal growth, career trajectory, and educational journey in numerous ways. Initially, it granted me access to quality education that would have otherwise been financially out of reach, laying a solid foundation for my academic pursuits and unlocking doors to opportunities I may not have encountered otherwise. Furthermore, beyond financial support, the program offered a holistic array of assistance, including mentorship, counseling, and leadership skills development. These resources not only facilitated my academic success but also equipped me with essential life skills like time management, communication, and problem-solving, indispensable in both personal and professional spheres. Serving as the secretary-general of the alumni group instilled in me the confidence to pursue leadership roles, leading to my election as the chairperson of The University of Nairobi Students Association, which in turn broadened my horizons and exposed me to diverse opportunities. Interacting with fellow students and alumni expanded my perspectives and enriched my understanding of different cultures and viewpoints, fostering adaptability and dynamism within me. Additionally, connections with alumni have transcended mere friendship, providing me with access to lifelong opportunities, including involvement in innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. Having been a beneficiary of the scholarship program instilled in me a profound sense of purpose and self-worth, fueling my career aspirations and driving my commitment to societal transformation. Overall, the program has been instrumental in shaping me into a responsible, resilient individual with a lifelong dedication to learning and making a positive impact in my community and beyond."

"The program's impact and influence has been tremendous in shaping my personal, career and educational development. The bigger chunk of my gratitude goes to the frequent psychosocial support lessons we had every holiday. I never overlooked nor undermined any of the sessions. I didn't just listen or take note of the imperative insights that I acquired. I planted and implemented the lessons into my daily life, and this has had an incredibly profound impact in my life. I have been able to navigate through tough times, defer actions that might lead to build-up of stress and depression in my life, and set up myself for any opportunities that might pop up. Of course, I can't suppress the substantive significance that the inspiring stories we used to listen from alumni in attendance or Mrs. Sarah narrated to us have had in my life. Whenever I heard of successful stories from or about alumni abroad, I would burn with passion to also trek in their legacy. Later, I would research about necessary steps required to make such colossal success. Notably, my efforts were rewarded richly. I gladly say that I also seized an opportunity and managed to get accepted to the University of Pennsylvania in the United States on full scholarship. I can jovially and proudly say that I am walking in the legacy of those whose stories inspired me. All gratitude goes to the program."

"The scholarship program has been instrumental in my personal growth and development. Through POA skills we used to have, I have been able to cultivate and strengthen my personal morals and values. The program has challenged me to think critically, problem-solve, and develop essential life skills for survival in the real world. This has helped me to grow as a person, becoming more resilient, self-reliant, and adaptable to various situations. Furthermore, the scholarship has been a crucial factor in advancing my educational and career aspirations. It has enabled me to be admitted to thee University of Nairobi, where I am now pursuing MBChB degree and a BSc in Human Anatomy. This has been a life-changing experience, as I have had the chance to deepen my knowledge, hone my academic skills, and explore my interests in the medical field. The scholarship has opened doors for me, and I am grateful for the immense impact it has had on my educational and professional development."

The program has immensely contributed to the person I am today. Through the program, I actually began to see life in a different perspective. Life is about how you make someone else feel, that's the true meaning of happiness, especially when you help someone you don't expect anything in return from. I am more humane and I attribute this to the program and of course my family. We also had various career motivations especially after every term at school and this really made me work extra hard and excel in my studies. I can attest that HBEF program is an amazing work of GOD.
