2015 Beneficiaries Speak
David Ojwang (2012-2015) who scored a B+ of 72 points
'Psychosocial support conducted during the Beneficiary Monitoring and Support Visit is important and helpful as it helps the students achieve their set targets. For example action focus really enabled me to focus on the positive actions that ended up giving me the good grade I achieved.'
Harrison Kitema (2012-2015) who scored an A of 83 points
‘An opportunity is all I wanted and Hilde Back gave me more than that, it gave me hope, hope for a better tomorrow. I’ll be joining university in September to pursue a degree in computer science at UON and hopefully create opportunities for more talented youngsters. ‘
