Jane Sesia Ndisha

Jane is one of her father's 20 children, eight boys and 12 girls from his two wives.  Neither of her parents are educated.  During one extended drought, her parents wanted her to marry so that they could replenish their cattle herd.  But she was already in secondary school and desperately wanted to complete her education, and the MGEF scholarship allowed her to achieve that dream.  In December 2010, she graduated from Mt. Kenya University and in January 2011 begins her career as a dental technician at Nairobi Women's Hospital. In July 2011, she began working for Compassion International as a health officer in her home area where she will be working with the Maasai.
