About

I come from a family where my parents can afford food and other family expenses but it is quite hard for them to pay school fees. I attend Iringa Girls Secondary School where I always lead in my class. I am very interested in studying how the economy works. Tanzania is taking big steps to grow its economy. I want to be an economist. Being sponsored by TSF help me to achieve my dream, then I can help my country people who have problems like mine. Through TSF, our life has changed for the good.

Hello Sintike,


I am writing just to say hello, and to ask how you are doing? Also to ask how your school classes are progressing and what subjects you like the best.

I am well, the United States is going through a very difficult time politically, the people are marching in peaceful protest on the streets. It is a bit of several issues altogether, women’s rights, climate change, the United States’ place in the world, and immigration from other countries into the States.

Personally, I also think it is about our private value systems and beliefs; the rights of all citizens to education, healthcare, and racial equality; these concerns are running smack up against an older world of power and wealth.

It is a time of change in America and few of us are easy in our minds; many of the women I know are giving their time to call centers reminding people to register to vote, or writing postcards, or attending lectures or protests.

I am happy though that we live in a Democracy, and that we live in a country that allows us to express our beliefs.

Be well, I hope to hear from you.
Karen

I am enclosing a photo from a recent protest in front of our highest Court, the Supreme Court.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
