Dr. Mary Mugure Kamau

My name is Dr. Mary Mugure Kamau. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery at Kenyatta University. Being brought up in a poor background, I knew I could not achieve my dreams despite being a bright student because my parents could not afford to pay my school fees. My dream to become a doctor was brought to realization when Palmhouse Foundation came to my rescue by offering scholarship for my high school education. I felt that life had started a new.
