Project Report | Mar 31, 2016
Lorite is off to university!

By Ellen Daniels-Howell | Project Leader

We first got to know Lorite when she wrote the following letter in 2010:

I am Lorite. I am in Standard Seven in Bar-Anding’o Primary School. I want to appreciate [Global Interfaith Partnership] because of its benefits to us. It has provided us with blankets, lunch, school uniforms, and sanitary towels for girls.

I really appreciate the project because of its benefits to us. If you come to our school, you’ll realize that there is a great change since it was introduced.

I leave requesting you to continue helping us. May you continue doing good deeds to us. We are yours and you are ours. So if you can please don’t stop to help us. If you stop, we will nowhere to be seen.

Yours faithfully,  Lorite

Since completing primary school and attending Mawego Girls School, Lorite has participated in our GET UP programs.  These programs have helped Lorite to stay focused on her goal of attending university someday. 

We've just gotten the results from the national exam Lorite had to take last November when she finished high school and Lorite achieved her dream!  She has been awarded direct entry to the university with government support, an achievement that would never have been possible without your support. 

We are so proud of Lorite and other girls like her who are supported through GET UP.  On their behalf, we thank you for your commitment to their success!
