Catherine comes from a single parent home.  Her father passed way due to TB complications.  Her mother is a casual laborer and has struggled to provide for Catherine’s school expenses.  Catherine is in medical school at the University of Nairobi. Her PATHWAYS project focuses on helping single mothers earn an income so they can afford school fees for their daughters. Catherine says, “I would like to help girls from my community; mentor them so they are able to make the right decisions and pursue their dreams.  Most of the girls end up dropping out of school, getting pregnant, getting married.  This is a result of poverty and lack of support and mentoring.”
