Milly Nafula, a fourth-year Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery student at Mount Kenya University, has received yet another shot in the arm in the quest to achieve her dreams of becoming a medical doctor.
On Tuesday, September 30, Nafula received upkeep, learning equipment, and study resources that will further help her achieve her dreams from Prof. Simon Gicharu, the founder of the Thika-based institution.
Prof. Gicharu congratulated Milly for her outstanding performance, recalling her remarkable journey — a 15-year break after KCSE due to lack of finances, working in a posho mill to raise her children, before being awarded a full MKU Foundation scholarship to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor.
Now in her clinical years, Nafula expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support: “This provision will ease my clinical training and I promise to do my best to become a doctor who serves our nation and beyond.”
Nafula’s story is a powerful reminder that with resilience, determination, and support, dreams do come true.
“I am going to work very hard to make MKUF and its patron proud,” an elated Nafula said after receiving the scholarship. “I have huge expectations ahead of me but I am determined to achieve my goals.”
Despite giving her a full scholarship, MKU Foundation also donated a house and piece of land and a furnished two-bedroom house to Nafula in Cherangany, Trans Nzoia County, to enable her siblings settle and accord her time to focus on her studies.
