Zakayo Olekilae

Zakayo attended Manyara Secondary School, and was brought to our attention by the Head Teacher, Mr. Kimbele Njake. Zakayo’s father passed away in 2021, and he has two sisters, Siligi and Dorcas. His mother was not able to pay for Zakayo to progress to A’ Level studies.

Zakayo was selected to study A’ Levels in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at Milambo High School, starting in July 2024. He was sponsored through his two years of A’ Level studies by Cath and Matthew White.

Zakayo performed well in his final A’ Level examinations, and was selected to study a three year diploma course in Animal Health and Reproduction at the Livestock Training Agency, Temeke Campus. He started the course in November 2026, and is being sponsored by Judith and Neil Glover, of Middlesbrough Erimus Rotary Club.
