Yar Jima Aguet: ”I got 403 marks during KCPE but no money for secondary school.”

Yar Gai Aguet is a South Sudanese refugee who started her school in Kenya in 2007. For eights years, Yar did very well during her primary studies on some cases she emerged as the best student. At class seven, the family couldn’t afford to pay the school fees, but the headmaster of the school kept Yar in school. The owner of the school saw a need in Yar's life, and she could have been expelled.

The owner of the School paid all the required fees for two years. Yar never disappointed both parents and the school that supported her during the Kenyan Certificate of Primary Education exams. Yar was able to get 403 marks out of 500, but she could proceed to secondary due to lack of money. The mother can’t afford to pay for the school, and Yar’s dream seems blurry as she is not sitting at home. Yar needed to be a medical doctor if she was to get her way to secondary school.
