It was not possible until it was possible...

A Lifetime Investment

In 2014, my academic journey at Daystar University came to an abrupt halt. The lack of funds threatened to derail my dreams. But then, a glimmer of hope appeared. Thanks to a scholarship from Gulf African Bank, facilitated by Hope Beyond Initiative (HBI), I was able to reignite my passion for learning.

With renewed determination, I immersed myself in my studies, overcoming obstacles and pushing forward. The day I graduated was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life.

Now, I'm proud to be gainfully employed, providing for my family and living a life of dignity. As a pastor, I use my education to inspire and uplift my community through insightful sermons. My editing skills, honed during my college years, have opened doors to opportunities in the media industry.

I am eternally grateful to HBI and Gulf African Bank for their support. They didn't just provide me with a scholarship; they invested in my future. Thank you for obeying the almighty God in extending a helping hand to touch those in need in our nation, Kenya, and the regions beyond. 

May God reward and richly bless you.
