Jeniffer Soilan Kotikash
At just 13, Jennifer had to work full-time as a nanny to help support her family. Her mother was not able to provide for her five children without assistance after their father died. It was hard for Jennifer to help the children in her care get ready for school when she longed for an education herself. When she found out about the Malindi Vocational Center and the opportunities offered, she was eager to get started. She wants to learn a skill, become a fashion designer, and make a better life for herself.
