About

Sauya has a mother & five sisters. They stay in a rural area about 50 miles from Kampala, the main city. Her mother is a peasant who relies on growing food for sale but on a small scale. Being a widow, she can hardly sustain her family needs with her income. Sauya's father died of AIDS and so her mother is on medication. Sauya has been in a in a very poor elementary school and completed 7th grade there. She is now starting in High school (at Rita's school). She is very far behind, due to the low quality of her elementary school. She is very bright and we expect she will make good progress during this year.

    Emmaculate Mueni

    Kenya

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
