Race 4 Daraja 2026

Quote: “It is our time to shine. So let’s do so.” -Khadija

Khadija is a 16-year-old Maasai girl from Laikipia North and will graduate from Daraja with the Class of 2028. She comes from a family of seven people, including her father, mother, and her father’s two other wives. They live in a house made of timber and mud in a dry, low-lying area, making it dusty and warm. Khadija had to walk two hours to get to her previous school. Neither of her parents received an education. Her father’s illness, combined with persistent drought and limited livestock, made hunger and instability a constant in her life.

In response to these challenges, Khadija hopes to become a public health officer so she can promote good health and ensure equal access to care for all. When asked what makes her happy, she shares that singing and dancing allow her to laugh from the bottom of her heart. She describes Daraja as her long-term home and a place of lasting happiness.
