After their four year courses, the girls are expected to come back home.
The foundation has so far airlifted 55 girls. It costs about Sh300,000 to airlift one girl. This amount only caters for their upkeep since they all get full scholarships.

Im a kenyan born but currently studyin in California,USA...i would really than Dr. Mboya for what she has done for those girls but am concerned if these girls are really among the needy! i might be wrong but a comment raised about those girls raised some questions! honestly speaking our sisters here don't seem to be needy! am sure there some very poor and needy sisters in those remote areas who scored a solid B even a A but still roaming in the village! i wish i can't do something! anyway kudos Dr. Mboya

This are not girls from needy families, yes call a spade a spade. They are from the high and mighty. However its a good job, they are still our girls. Study hard and go back to Kenya with good education, dont mess up yourself here with WORKING DOUBLES!
