I'm Lydia Awiti.I highly appreciate this uplifting of the needy young girls on the society. I sat for my KCSE in 2011,and attained a mean grade of B+. I've tried applying for zawadi scholarship but no response. You've also raised the bar, it's either A or A minus.Currently I work as a house girl. How can you help me get my education? Thanks
