My names are Fatuma Bakari, I joined MoCeDET a year ago and I have enjoyed each moment at the school. But that unique and rare opportunity for me is now in jeopardy – I need to pay school fees or go back home and wallow in disillusionment
I am an orphan and I live with my aged grandmother in the coastal town of Mombasa unfortunately, she is now having difficulties in raising funds to pay my school fees and at the same time in meeting all my upkeep.
For a girl to be deaf in Kenya – a third world country struggling to come out of the pangs of harsh economic times and still healing from post election chaos, it is a double tragedy.
For many of the girls who are deaf like I am, going to school is but a pipe dream, a far fetched notion and therefore, when I got the opportunity to come and gather the little knowledge I could, I got very excited, and I have never looked back since. Understanding the intricacies of another language and being in a friendly and homely environment has made me so attached to MoCeDET that I can’t imagine myself not being in school any day and for any reason.
The MoCeDET management has been very supportive to me and those like me who are students in the school during these very hard times, but they also have their limitation and it is only through the support of generous and friendly people like you out there, that those of us who have financial limitations can actualize our dreams and aspirations.
It is for this reason that I wish to appeal to you for your support in helping me actualizing my dream in getting a decent education and have an equal chance in the job market in future.
