Catherine is 17 and attends Karen C secondary school. “I still have
this year and next year to go until I finish school. When I am
finished I would like to be a lawyer. I have a mentor who works as a
lawyer so this has helped my decision, but I just love everything to do with
the law. I would love to go to Kenyatta University and stay in Kenya
for my schooling and career”.
“I have been part of Girl Power for five months so far. I learnt many
things: how to protect myself, how to cope with friends if we have a fight and
how to cope with trouble. I now know how to prepare a budget as
well. I have gone to Sadili to play football though Girl
Power. I would love to say that Girl Power is a very good organization. It
helps young girls achieve what they want to be and what they want do in the
future”.
When ask about sports, Catherine really comes alive. “I love sport!”
she says excitedly. “I love football so much, I am a
footballer. I played even before joining Girl Power, since I was
nine years old. I am good! I would like to keep playing after school” she
explains.
“I live with both my parents, my father and mother. They
take good care of me and I am proud of them – I think they are proud of me
too!” she laughs. “I have a big brother, he is studying in Zetech
College, and I have a sister who is in Form Four now. I am the last
born in our family”.
