Regina Chokwe

Regina will complete high school in 2020. She lost her father in 2016 and her Mother, failing to take care of the family alone, sent Regina to live with an Auntie deep in the village. Regina relentless fought for sponsorship from our program, often walking more than 1 ½ hours to fill out applications and bring proper documents. She currently is studying at PEAS academy but is renting a grass thatched house nearby while she waits for sponsorship to live in the Boarding House.

“After losing my Mom and then my Father, life was terrible for me and my siblings. I have a problem with my leg which began when I was 14 years old. It causes me great challenges when walking. I was living in an orphanage before the Bakashana boarding house. I want to succeed so I can be an example for girls to make them understand that one or two problems can’t make your life end.”
