“Nantambi Shakirah when my father abandoned us my chances of missing education were high since my mother had no other alternative to get my school fees. I was always sent back for school fees. my studies were disturbed a lot.
I was forced to sit for 2 years to give my young siblings a chance to go to school too. I was left with little hope for education until when I was enrolled by Youth With A Vision and continued with my education. I was supported and completed my Primary Leaving Examinations where I excelled with 14 aggregates.
I qualified to join any Secondary / High school but since my mother couldn't afford to support me in a secondary school, I joined late, and I am always sent back home for tuition and supplies. I pray to God to provide me with someone to support me in my educational journey so that I fulfil my dream of becoming a nurse, and break poverty in my family.”
It is unfortunate that there is no nearby school around Shakirah's village.
This means that Shakirah requires to be in a boarding school. But she lacks almost every requirement any child would need for a boarding school. She needs a mattress/ beddings, stationery and school fees to go to school. In-kind donations for these items are welcome and very much appreciated.
Please become Shakirah's sponsor by donating £35 per month. With this gift, you help pay for her tuition, stationery and supplies to start and stay at school and full fill her dream.
