Naomi Wayua’s remarkable journey is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of professional growth. Passionate about healthcare from a young age, she set out to serve her community, eventually earning a Diploma in Nursing. While this provided her with a foundation in medicine, her ambition to provide the highest level of care remained unshaken.
Determined to advance her skills, Naomi sought to bridge her education and earn a full degree. However, the path from a diploma to a Bachelor’s degree in a demanding field like nursing presents significant financial and professional hurdles. Thanks to Global FICCS, she received the support necessary to pursue further education, successfully completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
This educational progression allowed Naomi to gain the advanced clinical knowledge and leadership skills required to handle complex medical situations. Her dedication and hard work throughout her program prepared her to step into the front lines of public health with confidence and expertise.
Today, Naomi serves the community at the County Hospital in Siaya. Working in a busy public facility, she applies her advanced training every day to save lives and provide essential care. Naomi’s story illustrates the transformative impact of investing in healthcare professionals, showing that with determination and the right support, dreams of professional excellence can indeed be achieved.
I am where I am because of Global FICCS.
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.
