Assalam alaykum.  | My name is Bahati Nyamawi Mwachiramba, I was born on the 19th of April 1984 in Mackinon Rd which is located in Kinango district on the coastal region in Kenya. I am the eldest sibling from a family of seven children of which 4 are girls and 3 are boys. |
During the year 1988 to 1990 I was a student at the Jaffery Pre-Primary School, Mackinon. Thereafter I was enrolled in Standard one at the Jaffery Primary School and simultaneously registered as a student at the Madrasa Jafferriya, Mackinnon Road.I registered for Kenya Certificate for Primary Education (KCPE) examinations in 2001 and performed well. Due to my performance I got an invitation letter from the top school in my district, however due to lack of finances I had to resort to other alternatives. I had to attend a local school that was affordable and closer to my hometown by the name of Samburu Secondary School. Despite studying in this local school there was a minute chance that I could eventually complete my O’ level studies due to poverty that exists in this region. It posed a great challenge and an obstacle in my pursuits for higher and futher education. In order to support my parents in paying school fees I used to cook, sell maandazi and samosas . During my second year the situation became harder and I had an outstanding balance of school fees which my parents could not afford to pay. I prayed to the Almighty Allah to assist in finding a way to achieve higher education objectives. My prayers were answered through the assistances I received from Bilal Muslim Mission of Kenya under the Zainabiyya Child Sponsorship Scheme (ZCSS) of World Federation. I sat for my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in the year 2005 and I performed remarkably well. Thereafter I decided to enhance my religious knowledge based on the Madhab Al Haq, (Madh-hab Ahlul Bayt (a.s) therefore I enrolled with Az-Zahra Madrasah at Amiirul Mu’minin, Matuga in the year 2006.
In the endeavours to increase my secular knowledge, I applied for Medical Engineering (Bio-medical Engineering) course at The Kenya Medical Training College – Kilifi Campus. Once again I obtained assistance through the Bilal Muslim Mission of Kenya under Bilal Loan Education Sponsorship Scheme (BLESS) by paying for the certificate course in 2007. I have managed to complete this course in April 2009. Alhamdulillah, As I look forward to starting a good life and being able to support my family I still have a long way to go in my quest for knowledge and professional skills. I would like to thank ZCSS, BLESS and Bilal Muslim Mission Kenya for making it possible for me to gain the required knowledge and skills. They have helped in giving me hope of living a successful life. I pray to Allah (S.W.T) to highly reward all those who have contributed to my success. May Allah bless us all. Thank you.
