Meet Michael, a young man from Oloosinyat Community in Olkaria and a beneficiary of Entidai Initiative since 2015. Michael grew up in a polygamous home with 14 siblings. Life wasn’t easy; resources were stretched thin, and education often took a back seat to herding and survival. Against all odds, he pursued his education with determination, eventually earning a Diploma in Mass Communication.
