Josephine Owuor
Josephine is 17 years old and is a student at Humwend Secondary School. She lives at home with her parents and her two brothers and three sisters. Her favourite subjects in school are biology and chemistry.
At home she is responsible for fetching water from the river, gardening, as well as taking care of his siblings. At school Josphine's responsibilities are the drama club, the debate club as well as working hard towards her studies. After high school she would like to continue her studies to become a doctor. Josephine is inspired by her teachers at Humwend, and her role model is her uncle. If she could improve her community, she would change the state of poverty in which people live in.
Josephine has successfully completed her third year (Form 3) of High School, and is therefore eligible for a new scholarship that will cover her fourth and last year of High School!
