Since her childhood, Dafuloza has wanted to become a nurse. She was inspired by a matron whom she met while she was sick in the hospital. This ambition was just a dream to Dafuloza until CAMFED started supporting her education in Standard 5. Dafuloza was among 40 girls selected by the School Based Committee to benefit from CAMFED funds. She received a school uniform and exercise books, along with all of her school fees and tuition.
At Dafuloza’s school, the Mother Support Group works tirelessly to help children stay in school, learn and succeed.
Through CAMFED’s Safety Net Fund, 40 needy children, including Dafuloza, were selected by the School Based Committee to receive support.
Dafuloza’s Teacher Mentor also plays a vital role in her education. Together with the Mother Support Groups, the Teacher Mentor follows up when she notices that Dafuloza is not in school or experiencing other challenges.
