I want to become a journalist and television presenter to inspire other girls in my community to not give up on their education, even when it feels tough.
Secondary Student, Zambia
My name is Jane, I’m the second born in a family of six and I live with my mom who is a subsistence farmer.
I attend a boarding school, so I usually live at school during the school term. In the morning, I wake up early to do my morning prep (studies and assignments). I then go back to the dorm to take a bath and supervise my fellow students as I am a prefect.
During the holidays when I return home, I clean the house and cook breakfast and lunch for my family.
Education means a lot to me and it is very important to my life. When I complete school, I aspire to be a health clinic officer.
When I complete my education I can be independent in life.
I was very happy when a teacher told me about CAMFED in Grade 11, as I almost dropped out of school due to financial problems. CAMFED Association members come here to my school to teach us about My Better World, the life-skills curriculum which includes respect and leadership.
My favorite subject is Mathematics, I love it very much. I believe if I go into society I will be able to use the principles in mathematics to solve problems.
My mom inspires me because she is a very hardworking and wise woman. My role model is Ms. Tembo because she is independent.
My life goal is to do what God calls me to do, especially helping others, as CAMFED has helped me.
I want to become a journalist and television presenter to inspire other girls in my community to not give up on their education, even when it feels tough.
Hear from CAMFED secondary scholar Fadila in Ghana about what education means to her, and about her plans to support her community.
