Poverty is multifaceted – each one of us can do something in order to reduce the levels and it starts with me.
Having received unwavering support through school from my community and CAMFED, I am committed to paying it forward by motivating other children to remain in education and achieve their goals. As a CAMFED trained Learner Guide, I help to identify vulnerable girls at risk of dropping out of school. I provide a crucial home-school link by conducting home visits and initiating encouraging discussions with parents about the importance of girls’ education.
Alongside my role as a Learner Guide and running a business, I’m also studying to reach my goal of attending teacher training college. My secret to staying on top of all my different activities is proper planning and having passion – which acts as the main driver in everything I do.
