Janet has shown tremendous courage and resilience by not giving up after a horrific accident that left both of her legs amputated. When Janet was 13 years old, she was run over by a vehicle and after several reconstructive surgeries at a Mission Hospital, she was referred to AIC Child Care Centre for stump wrapping and rehabilitation services. AIC Child Care Centre later referred Janet to Nenkashe Education Centre to get educational support, counselling and mentorship.
Shortly before her horrific accident, Janet had lost both of her parents so she was already an orphan before losing her legs. She was inspired so much by the care she received from her doctors and nurses that she decided to ask God to help her become a doctor one day. She says that she wants to study medicine and become a doctor so that in the future she may be able to give someone hope as she has been given by the doctors that treated her. Janet graduated from high school last year in December 2018.
The best news about Janet is that she is not only courageous and resilient but that she is also an A student who qualifies for enrolment into Medical School. Nenkashe Education Centre looks forward to your continued support so that together we shall be able to help Janet enrol into Medical School.
