Brandy is one of our students studying at the Technical University of Mombasa. She is studying Mass Communication and has a huge passion for journalism, radio and TV. Without the support of Friends for Life she would not have been able to proceed with her studies.

Brandy grew up in Kwale together with her 5 siblings. Her father had some cattle and land but this was not enough to pay for school-fees for Brandy’s siblings and for her. Her mother was always a very active lady but due to an accident she was not able to earn any money through her job any longer. Brandy heard about Friends for Life and came to us with her story. We had an intake interview with Brandy about her background, motivation and future plans. We were convinced to give her the opportunity to further her education which will give her a chance to create her own income and to broaden her horizon.

Brandy is able to study Mass Communication with the help of a scholarship from Friends for Life. She loves everything that is related to journalism, TV and radio and is now learning the techniques within this field of work. She is a very motivated, strong willed lady who knows what she wants and would love to help another student after graduation. Below her video.
