Sharifa grew up in Kampala, Uganda. She was born into difficult circumstances and her family was not able to provide for her. Eventually Sharifa was brought into a HALO home so she could recieve her basic needs, along with the opportunity to attend school. As Sharifa got older, she applied to attend vocational training through the HALO Scholarship Program. She was granted the opportunity to attend vocational training for sewing and design from HALO with the generous support of donors like you. Now that Sharifa has graduated from vocational training, she is giving back to HALO. She is currently volunteering to teach the sewing and design class at the HALO Uganda Learning Center. She is using her knowlege and skill to educate younger HALO youth how to repair clothing, create new designs and build up their own tailoring business. Full circle moments like these are possible because of your support. Thank you!
