Ines Graduates from Primary School
Ines came to us highly recommended in 2014. Her father had died in a traffic accident the prior year and her mother, Theonestina, was struggling to support both Ines and her brother Freddie. Ines was attending a government school that was not meeting her needs in any way. Theonestina worked - and still works - diligently at a crossroads kiosk selling shoes, sheets, food staples, and other useful items to the community. On each trip to Tanzania, we make sure to go shopping there.
In 2014, we arranged for Ines to attend Kibeta English Medium Primary School near where the family lives and works. Because Ines was able to live at home, walking to school as opposed to boarding there, her education was a true value.
Ines has matured a lot during the last seven years, but she remains the quiet, polite, and diligent student we got to know in 2014. Her mother has also proved to be a faithful and industrious single parent to her children.
GlobalGiving has been the sponsor for Ines through these seven years of primary school. Congratulations to Ines and thank you to all who have donated over the years.
