About

Ashura is the sixth of seven children. She lost her mother in 2004 and her father in 2006. Since the death of her parents, Ashura has been living with her grandmother, who only makes a small living from selling Vitumbua (like the American donut). Because she could not afford primary school fees, Ashura was sometimes forced out of tuition classes, was scoled by teachers, and did not have a school uniform. Determined, Ashura continued school and with the help of TAFARE, finished her primary school exams with flying colors. Ashura hopes to go to university and study medicine to become a doctor.

Hi Ashura,
That is very nice that you helped your grandmother to make vitumbia to sell. I'm a little shy, so I think that selling something on the street might be a little frightening. Did you enjoy yourself? I hope that you are healthy and enjoying school and your vacation in June.

All the best,
Christi

    Kenya

    I am the only child of a single mother. She works as a casual laborer and this helps in putting food on our table. Secondary education in Kenya is very expensive and this would require extra source of income which is not available at the moment. We live in the slums of Kibera. This is the largest slum in Kenya and poverty rate is very high. I work hard in school with one ultimate goal, to break the cycle of poverty. They say education is the best way and I believe in this philosophy.

    Ahmed Daud Osman is a 15 year old from Hargeisa, Somaliland. He was raised in the Hargeisa Orphanage, and enrolled at Abaarso School of Science and Technology two years ago. He is now entering the ninth grade and is excited to begin a new year. Ahmed’s favorite subjects are math and science. In the future, he wants to be a professor. “Somaliland has many universities, but the education is not good. I want to teach the adults,” he says. Ahmed is not only compassionate, but also deeply introspective. When asked what is the most important lesson he’s learned at Abaarso, he took a moment to reply. “I learned how to be patient when you meet challenges.”

    I am from a nuclear family with poor economic status. We depend on a small plot of farm. Paying for my school needs is difficult. At the beginning of the first term of my school, I hoped to do better in my class and now I am. I worked with carpenters during the break in order to pay school requirements. It was difficult to keep reviewing in mind what we learned for the whole term. My father did not go to secondary school and he doesn't understand the value of education. My dream is to be an engineer I can reach this by learning good skills.
