Mary Ndeliwa Kato
Mary is from a marginalized pastoral community that does not value formally educating female children. She lived with her single mother and was in danger of being given to a suitor for marriage by her uncles in exchange for cattle. Her mother was able to get help through MCF so that Mary has the chance to go to school and make a better life for herself. She enjoys singing for enjoyment. She is outgoing, courageous, and happy to have this opportunity for an education so that she can pursue her dream of becoming a teacher.
