Sisters Elizabeth Timona and Fridah are making news because they are both pilots. Elizabeth flies for Jambojet, and Fridah flies for Safarilink.
Their dad inspired them, and now they’re living their dream.
The sisters say their dad, Major Kavingo (retired from the Kenya Air Force), is the reason they’re doing so well.
He showed them what it was like to be a pilot, and they wanted to do the same.
Growing up, they were always around planes and flying. Their dad taught them to work hard, keep going even when things are tough, and to love flying.
Elizabeth and Fridah went different ways. Elizabeth went to Jambojet, and Fridah went to Safarilink. Both airlines see how good they are at their jobs.
They are showing other young Kenyans, especially girls, that they can do anything they set their minds to.
Their story is about more than just them. It shows how important it is to have family who supports you and to believe in yourself.
There aren’t a lot of women pilots in the world; Elizabeth and Fridah are showing everyone what’s possible.
The Timona sisters are an inspiration to people who fly with them and to young Kenyans who want to reach for the sky.
They prove that if you have people cheering you on, if you love what you do, and if you don’t give up, you can do big things.
