Our mentors work with the students right through to getting their first job. Those that have graduated all have jobs and send part of their wages home. They have a great sense of duty and responsibility and they are very proud to be able to do this. 

 The Samburu way of life is very compelling and they keep in touch with their families and each other and return home whenever they can. Many are putting their younger siblings through school.
