Edison Kipkurui grew up with his uncle after his mother was unable to care for him and his father was not around. He was put forward for the Trust’s support after performing very well at primary school and his Uncle was unable to raise the funds for his secondary education.
The Trust began sponsoring him in Jan 2013 at the prestigious Londiani Boys Secondary School, where Edison completed his secondary education. He worked very hard and thoroughly deserved the good marks he got to gain a government sponsored place at University.
In September 2017 started his degree in Business Administration at the Presbyterian University of East Africa. Frustratingly due to lack of government funding the University closed and he was transferred to Mount Kenya university where he got excellent grades in his degree in Industrial Chemistry. He graduated in 2023
In December 2024 he told us that he had an online job and had managed to buy a plot of land for his mother who was not entitled to any land as she was a single mother.
