I'm racing for Millicent!

Millicent and I are racing 10 kilometers in support of girls' education. Any money we raise goes directly to Daraja Academy in Kenya and Millicent's education. Thank you for your help! Or, as they say in Kenya, ASANTE SANA!

Millicent's Story

Millicent is a 16-year-old Samburu girl from Rumuruti, Laikipia, and will graduate from Daraja with the Class of 2028. Growing up, she lived with her uncle until the age of 14 due to health challenges. She was later able to move in with her mother and seven siblings following her parents’ divorce. Millicent’s mother never attended school due to cultural beliefs that discouraged girls’ education, leading to her early marriage. At home, Millicent lives in a two-room iron-sheet house located far from any water source.

In junior school, she served as a school speaker, using her voice to promote the importance of love and self-expression among her peers. In her free time, she enjoys drawing and exploring her creativity. Millicent aspires to become a surgeon so she can help people live happy and healthy lives.

For Millicent, Daraja means hope. She describes her first day at Daraja as the moment she realized this is where her dreams can become reality.
