Shanita’s Story

Namwera’s mother left her when she was one year old and since then she has been living with her father, Sam.  Sam loves Namwera very much and does his best to support her. He runs a small business frying chapatis and samosas, selling to local village people. Unfortunately with the steep competition and low rate of income, Sam struggles to pay rent and has not been able to save enough to send Namwera to school. She tries to help her dad by cooking meals at home and cleaning while he is away, but she keeps her eyes set on the prize and her dream has always been to return to school again one day.

Through the PFP Junior scholarship program, Namwera will receive the financial assistance she needs to finish school and reach all of her dreams. Her father will work hand in hand with PFP to ensure Namwera receives the financial, physical and emotional support she will need to thrive.
