Charity Chilufya
Charity moved to Kasama because her Father has been facing challenges with his mental health. In the care of her Auntie and Grandmother, she was referred to Bakashana and over the last year has overcome much change, including learning a new language (Bemba), and finding a new home far away from her immediate family members.
Lois Musonda
Lois is a quiet and strong force! She is the kind of girl who has that look in her eye as if she knows exactly what she wants and exactly how she is going to get there. Her mother supports Lois and her siblings by ordering and re-selling tomatoes at 50 cents per pile. Lois scored among the highest of any of our grantees on her Grade 9 exams and is now attending a boarding school.
Patience Mubanga
Patience has been raised by her Grandmother. She was an active GLOW club member before being accepted into our scholarship program in 2023. She walked a great distance from their humble home everyday to attend school and performed so well on her grade 9 exams, despite hardships, that she was selected to a Boarding school. She is highly intelligent, humble, and knows what she wants.
