My EFAC Odyssey: From Samburu’s Plains to Silicon Dreams

By Marko Ewoi

Picture this: a young boy, me, Marko Ewoi, born and raised in the vast, sun-soaked plains of Samburu, Kenya. Education wasn't a distant dream; it was a mirage shimmering on the horizon. But then, like a bolt from the blue, came EFAC - the Education for All Children program.

EFAC wasn't just a scholarship; it was a lifeline, a dream factory, and my golden ticket. It was the light at the end of my dusty tunnel, a prayer answered, and a bridge straight to my destiny.

With EFAC's support, I embarked on a journey through the world of computer science. It wasn't easy, but it was exhilarating. I emerged from the cocoon of poverty and ignorance, spreading my wings like a tech-savvy butterfly.

As I stand on the precipice of graduation, the future beckons with a sly grin. My expectations? Well, they're as high as the Kilimanjaro. Armed with knowledge and determination, I'm ready to conquer the world of work. I carry with me the hope of a million stars and the belief that my dreams are within reach.

EFAC, you didn't just change my life; you turned my plains into Silicon Valley dreams. I'm not just graduating; I'm launching into a future of boundless possibilities. I'm ready, world - bring it on!
