As an aspiring teacher, FICCS didn't just help me stay in school—they gave me the life-saving skills I now pass on to my own students.

Abigal

Abigal Princessalice’s journey is a remarkable testament to resilience and the transformative power of education and support. Born and raised in a family of five in Eastleigh South, Nairobi, she faced significant challenges from a humble background that made pursuing her dreams feel like an insurmountable task.

Before joining Global FICCS, Abiga struggled immensely with school fees and lacked basic learning materials. The emotional burden was draining, as she lived with the constant uncertainty of whether she would ever be able to complete her education. She often had to rely on others for support just to keep moving forward.

However, her commitment to her future led her to Global FICCS. Through their scholarship program, the heavy burden of fees and accommodation was finally lifted, allowing her to focus entirely on her studies as an Education student. But the impact went beyond financial aid; through mentorship and training, Abiga gained life-saving “Fixit-Aid” skills. During her teaching practicum, she used these skills to empower her own learners, teaching them how to handle medical emergencies like cardiac arrest and epilepsy with compassion and dignity.

Today, Abiga serves as a mentor to junior students, offering academic advice and emotional support by sharing her own journey of perseverance. Her story serves as a beacon of hope, showing that with the right assistance, a student in need can become a leader who protects and educates their community.

I am where I am because of Global FICCS.
