RITA, 21 YEARS

My name is Rita Kariuki, and I was born and raised in Nanyuki, Kenya. I come from a close-knit family of three, with my mother, Eunice Kagure, and my father, Joseph Kariuki, who have always been supportive and nurturing. Growing up in a small community, I was encouraged to value kindness, hard work, and respect for others, which has shaped who I am today. I have two close friends in Kenya, and together we share a bond of mutual support and understanding. In my free time, I enjoy engaging in community and charity work, as I believe in giving back and helping those in need. I pursued a Nurse Assistant and caregiving course, which has deepened my passion for caring for others. This background has equipped me with skills to support individuals and contribute meaningfully to their well-being, while also nurturing my own personal growth. I am passionate about caring for children because I believe in fostering their growth, creativity, and emotional well-being. Working with children allows me to make a positive impact in their lives, guiding them as they develop essential life skills.
