Shy, twelve-year-old Vivian may be soft-spoken, but her determination shines through during our brief interview with her at her primary school in a remote village in Kenya. Vivian wants to finish her education and become a pilot - in part to give back to provide for her family and community. In the region where she lives, For the Good recently partnered with leaders, parents and a local school to create an option for an affordable secondary school for Vivian and hundreds of others girls once they graduate from primary school. More on Vivian’s story to come.
