I’m a role model to rural girls, encouraging them to stay focused and be positive in all they do.
After completing school with CAMFED’s support, I was motivated to join the CAMFED Association of women leaders because I could see all the wonderful work they were doing in our community. I also took part in training from a CAMFED Transition Guide to help me in the transition from school to independence. Through my commitment to plowing back, I was selected by CAMFED to train as a Learner Guide and undertake a BTEC — an internationally recognized qualification that will help me gain skills, apply for jobs and secure better employment.
I mentor vulnerable students so they can thrive in school and I’ve helped one girl with school shoes. I’ve acquired so many skills and ideas as a CAMFED Association member—including venturing into business, selling dried fish to meet a local demand. My dream for our sisterhood is to see every member doing well, leading an independent life.
