Trudy is a senior three student at Stella Maututina secondary school. I met her when she stayed at school over spring break to study. She came to celebrate Easter with myself and the group I stayed with in Uganda.
Trudy asked me about NETwork. "They gave me a net." Trudy had received an insecticide treated net as a student at Opok Primary School in 2012. She stayed healthy, and she stayed in school. She became a rare girl who has the opportunity for a high school education. She is not taking it for granted. She not only stayed in school over spring break, but continued to stay and study over summer break. The principal told me that she is greatly improving in her studies.
Her family hopes that Trudy will do well in school, so that she can be a leader and help the entire family. Her family is incredibly poor working as sustenance farmers in Opok.
Thank you for your investment in Trudy. It pays to invest in the health and education of young girls like her. They struggle so much to stay in school. When they succeed it benefits themselves, their families, and ultimately the entire village.
