“A trial mentorship program was started in my final high school year. It was the best opportunity I ever had to discover myself in a vulnerable environment. Having been unconsciously bitter, mentoring started off my journey to recovery, especially at a time when I was always at a conflict of whether to celebrate life or complain about everything. It was not an easy journey towards attaining purpose in life; it called for my mentors to frequently pose new and tougher challenges, and it’s out of the challenges I learnt to adapt and soar to the heights of any challenge. It was out of these mentoring events that I learnt to trust again, to seek guidance whenever not sure, to keep going even when the storm hit harder; and above all, to strive for the best”

Miriam Class of 2009

“Unlike all the other organisations that provide scholarships to high school students, Precious Sisters goes an extra mile. Besides the assurance that you are going to be in school without having to worry over school fees being paid, we had someone to talk to. Please note; talk to not listen to. That was the one thing that stood out most for me. The opportunity to have somebody listen to you, share your troubles without judging or having to share it with somebody else was one I had wished for since childhood. So when presented with the opportunity to do so, I felt like a burden had been lifted off of my shoulders. I cannot say that it was all smooth. I had hitches at the beginning. It was not easy trying to get comfortable with the whole idea of telling a stranger about things that worried me, or that were happening in my life”

Mary – class of 2017

The mentors I met in Precious Sisters have walked with me throughout my academic/career journey. I consider myself extremely lucky to have so many shoulders to lean on at any given moment, and this is in addition to the great network of professionals that they provide.

Angelar – class of 2011

"It’s the mentorship that has carried through with me even now that I am in university. I would not be here today, were it not for those group meetings where we got to share our aspirations and huge dreams with each other. Were it not for the one on one session with our mentors. Were it not for ‘inspirational Sundays’ as I like to call them, where someone would encourage us to achieve just as they had and more. PS gave me the confidence to dream big."

Anne – class of 2012

"Looking back to what got me here, I can remember the words of encouragement and motivation received during the mentoring weekends, where I was always pushed to challenge myself and to set higher goals. Ann, the program manager during my time, would visit us at different time points in the term to check up on us and help us strategize on ways to improve our grades and overall performance in school."

Fanice – class of 2013

"The mentoring totally changed my perspective on life and I stopped defining myself as a poor girl from Kitui and started thinking of myself through the lens of the great mentors that I met. They were my role models, all of them, and I wanted to be like them one day. Precious Sisters has helped me become that confident woman who is not afraid to dream or make things happen. I have girls from my hometown looking up to me now and I can not stop myself from thinking of what more I can do to make sure that they have the same gift I got by becoming a part of the Precious Sisters family."

Florence Class of 2011

“My family and I are forever grateful for what Precious Sisters has done for me. For stepping in when I had lost all hope of ever getting through high school, for giving me hope for the future, for showing me the importance of always putting God first in everything that I set out to do and for teaching me the value of hard work, ambition, self-belief and commitment. Thank you for giving me the tools to navigate school life and also my personal life. I will never take it for granted and may God continue to bless you.”

Maureen - class of 2015

“As a teenager, school can be tough at times and one may be confused on who to talk to. This is why I always looked forward to Precious Sisters mentorship. The impact it had was that I was able to finally focus on my studies , avoid bad company, participate in necessary activities and make life plans. I have applied this even in my life after school and things are always turning out great. Sincerely, I owe my success to precious sisters. I am forever grateful.”

Stacy - class of 2018

“The most important quote I learnt is Albert Einstein's and it was actually through Precious Sisters, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”. It completely changed how I think about matters education. It's not only about cramming concepts, writing them in your exams and passing your exams but also understanding the concepts. That way you can apply the knowledge gained. I always thought to myself, who taught the first teacher? It came from his mind. He must have studied the phenomenon, studied the trends and understood. That way he came up with facts and laws. After scholars learnt and understood these facts, through more research, they built on the concepts and came up with amazing inventions working under those laws. For instance, generators, motors, transformers, etc., are applications of electromagnetism. So I can conclude that these laws and facts taught these inventors how to think. And that is the impact that education should make in my life and yours; to improve how we think.”

Blessings - class of 2021

“The mentorship programs have been a life changer for me. They have helped me reflect on my decisions, and the questions ‘why?’ and ‘how?‘ have always kept us on track. The program will make you embrace the importance of a mentor. We all need a mentor in our lives.”

Gladys - class of 2017

“My experience as a Precious Sister beneficiary has been one of my most life-changing experiences. I began the journey with the organisation when I joined high school in Form One and honestly it is a never-ending one. The team at Precious Sisters were really hands on with each student and were very much involved in our development. Personally, Precious Sisters really aided with my self-confidence especially through the mentoring sessions, and they really aided my self-actualization journey as a teenager.”

Daniella - class of 2020

“Precious Sisters gave me a chance to succeed academically. Through the mentorship programs, I got a chance to speak out my problems. This was an assurance that I am never alone in this life. I am so proud to be part of Precious Sisters as this was was a lifetime opportunity for me.”

Rose - class of 2020

“I am truly grateful to Precious Sisters Charity Trust for their invaluable support throughout my academic journey. Their scholarships and one-on-one mentoring sessions in high school provided a strong foundation for my success, and their continued guidance through university, including school visits and mentorship, has been instrumental. I deeply appreciate their unwavering belief in me and their dedication to empowering girls in the same situation as me.”

Mercy - class of 2020

“I am so grateful to Precious Sisters for working so hard and sacrificing to see me through.I have largely benefitted from the program since high school. Even before joining campus, they organized a mentoring event that opened my eyes and helped me adjust to campus life without much struggle. Coming to campus, they haven't stopped holding my hands and have visited me severally and enlightened me on various topics like relationships, financial management, career guidance and how to maneuver in a work environment. Even as I complete university, Iam so confident about the future. I really appreciate you for making me the person I am today and will forever be grateful.”

Sandra - class of 2020

“I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support Precious Sisters provided during my high school years. Your sponsorship not only alleviated financial concerns but also empowered me to find my voice and speak out with confidence. The impact of your encouragement has been enduring, playing an essential role in my personal and academic development, and continuing to inspire me to excel. Thank you for investing in my future and believing in my potential.”

Lucy - class of 2022

“You have very good mentors in the sense that they are genuinely interested in the girls and their welfare. This seems to come from an inner feeling that 'I want to give'. This kind of spontaneous feeling is catching and the girls notice it, and that is what makes them feel that they can trust the mentors. The girls know when someone is sincere and your mentors are all very sincere and genuine.”

Head teacher Precious Blood, Riruta

May Almighty God bless Precious Sisters always, to continue supporting the education of the girl child.On behalf of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Maryhill Girls High school administration and the girls, thank you very much.”

Class teacher, Maryhill

“I'm so thankful for Anne's sponsorship; I thank God for your great support. Sponsorship has helped Anne to continue with her studies, has also helped to work hard to achieve her goals. Sponsorship has enabled us parents to cover some needs like paying school fees for other siblings. It has also helped her to have mentorship every term since she has never had any mentorship, she loves what you do for her and she has gained a lot since she joined Precious Sisters. May God bless you for everything you have done for Ann and our family. Have a wonderful time.”

Mother, Form 2

“As a parent since my daughter got this scholarship it has been a good journey, she has changed in the way she views things and now boldly tells me that although we are from a not so well up family, she has got lots of encouragement from the mentorship programme. She always shows me and tells me how the mentors who come to talk to them are making it in life and that I can say has given her a zeal to pursue her studies, regardless of our background, also the love, talks and visits that Ann gives them when she visits them at school has made her to be a bold girl and know that she has a parent in her. She talks highly of Ann, as a parent. In my daily prayers I always tell God to bless our sponsors, wherever they are, the impact they have brought into the life of my daughter is amazing, when as a parent I was at the verge of taking my daughter to a day school because I couldn'to afford the fees.You came to my rescue. I am forever grateful and always happy reading the magazine (Precious Times) when she comes from mentorship.”

“I am a single parent of two, but have been blessed to have a wonderful support system in God. I have been working as a casual worker for the last few years now. I want to thank you for the scholarship that you have given my daughter. It has helped her attain quality education, which is something I was willing to offer but my financial status couldn't allow me to. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that I write regarding your generous contributions towards the education of my daughter, who is now studying in this prestigious high-school. The scholarship has not only helped her attain access to quality education, but it has also helped her nurture the skills that would help her excel in the future. I am grateful for the opportunity given by your organization and would like to express my sincere gratitude towards you and your staff members for their kindness and generosity towards me and my family.”

Your support helped her to improve her academic performance because she knows very well that the only thing to maintain this sponsorship is by hard working and discipline. Also those mentoring events they attend have been of great help to help her. She has opportunity to meet different successful mentors, and a chance to interact with fellow students from different schools. Through these events, she has gained self confidence, self belief and self awareness. She has become more focussed in her studies and social life. May God help her achieve her career dream. May the Lord bless you as you continue helping and mentoring young girls. Thank you very much.”

"I wish to thank you all for your great kindness and support you have offered my daughter for the last four years. Her secondary education was guaranteed when you took her in your program which has been of great help in all areas, both morally and financially, in her education.I was relieved of her fees and guaranteed my daughter will never be sent home for her fees.During the corona epidemic, of the nine months I sincerely want to thank her sponsors who through you made sure we never lacked food or Joy's airtime for her online classes and any books she needed. The mentorship holiday trainings have really made a lot of impact to her. She has matured and grown to be a very responsible girl and she was always excited about the training. She fondly told me how she met different people of different professionals.Ann has been more than a second mum to her. Every holiday my daughter tells me of the many visits and encouraging words she offers them and every holiday she always take time to know how we are doing. I sincerely want to thank the entire team for making my daughter's dream of finishing high school possible. She has always told me one day when she is through with her studies she will make sure to give another girl a chance to education through your program.I am positive God will make a way for this happen. I really appreciate all that you have done for us. Words cannot explain enough but may God bless and always provide for the entire team."
