About

Nancy is a 16 year old girl who hopes to become a doctor. She got a fistula very young and has had several surgeries over the years. The fistula and her family’s poverty have made it difficult for her to be in school continuously, but despite this Nancy performed very well on her year end exam after form 1 last year. She will be entering form 2 but her family does not have the money to pay her fees - Nancy admits that paying for school is so difficult she has considered suicide in the past. She is one of six siblings and lives with her parents, who do not have a source of income.

    I wish all my dreams come true even though it is had to reach them. One of my dreams is to help other people who need special help, especially orphans and those whose lives are hard and poor. I also wish to help other girls who face problems that make them to fail reach their dreams. The most difficult experience in my early life was when my father and my mother divorced. It was hard for me to decide which one I should live with, my mother or my father. I did not know what was the right way. The situation made my performance at school drop. Then my dad took me and my siblings and he tried his best to provide good care for us and ensure that we got education. When I was selected for secondary school in Morogoro, my father didn’t have enough money for my school expenses. He talked with the headmistress so I could stay at school while he raised the money. The headmistress was very understanding. I completed my O-level education there and now I am in A-levels at Iringa Girls Secondary School. I am proud of myself when I do something that is appreciated by people and when I make someone happy.

    Anmol writes: "My name is Anmol Ghising. I am 14 years old. I live in New Youth Children Development Society. It is a social organization which provides us basic needs. I am here since I was 7 years old. When I came here, I was a small child. I only know a little bit about my parents. My mother died when I was 6 years old and my father got another marriage. After that he left me and one of my uncles took me here. Since he left me here, no one came to see me. I still don't know where he is. Either he is alive or died. I am a very poor boy. I hope you will help me."
