Gladys Mbeke’s journey is a testament to the power of education and the unwavering support of a dedicated organization. Growing up in the arid landscapes of Kitui, Kenya, Gladys faced significant challenges. Her family, reliant on unpredictable rainfall and meager harvests, struggled to provide for her education.

Frequent school absences due to unpaid fees threatened to derail her dreams. However, a lifeline arrived in the form of the Charles Musyoka Matuku Foundation. The foundation’s timely intervention covered her outstanding fees, enabling her to focus on her studies.

With renewed determination, Gladys excelled in her secondary education. Her hard work and perseverance paid off as she secured a place at Naivasha Technical and Vocational College to pursue a Diploma in Tourism Management. The foundation’s continued support has been instrumental in making this dream a reality.

As Gladys looks to the future, she is filled with hope and gratitude. Her journey is an inspiration, demonstrating how education can transform lives, even in the most challenging circumstances.
