Neema Medutieki

Neema attended Meserani Juu Primary School. She is the first born of five children, and has three sisters and one brother. Her parents were not looking after Neema, so she is now living with her grandmother, who is receiving government support.

Neema started her secondary education at Ol Tinga Secondary Boarding School, Manyara, in January 2023. She is being sponsored by Renata Kapelan, who met Neema in January 2023 whilst part of a group of employees of Virgin Media/O2 supporting the work of The Meserani Project. Renata says, “ I am 35 years old. I am originally from Poland and have been living In England for 16 years now. I work at Virgin Media o2 as Network Operations Service Assurance Manager making sure our Critical Infrastructure works as it was designed. I don’t have children myself and being able to sponsor someone and change their life means a lot to me as I had to do it myself when I first moved to England. Therfore being in a position now to help others is incredible. In my free time I do a lot of charity work, enjoy playing tennis, walking my dog and canoeing.”
