STUDENT SUCCESS STORY

STUDENT SUCCESS STORY

Meet Shiru Ndegwa, a 15-year-old creator whose journey with the Canon Academy Juniors programme sparked a flame of inspiration within her. Instead of keeping her newfound knowledge to herself, Shiru boldly approached her trainer with a unique vision—to share her passion for photography with other children her own age.

Her goal- to ignite creativity and self-expression in those who may lack exposure to such opportunities.

In this video, we unravel Shiru's story, witnessing how her enthusiasm for photography transforms into a mission to empower others.
