đHow would you react if a 17 years old joyful girlđ§ tells you that few years back, she wanted to killâ ïž herself because of her pregnancyđ¶? It was a Thursday at 5.30am. After a 20 minute walk across metal sheets barracks, Faith welcomedđ us in her tiny 12m2 family houseđ . While washing her daughter clothes, Faith described the discovery of her pregnancy after 7 months, the fatherâs refusal to recognize his twins, the rejection of her friends, the death of one of the twins & her desire to commit suicideâŠ
But that was before! đđ Then, she met with an impactful NGO called Carolina for Kibera which empowered her, gave her confidence back & supported her to go back to school.đ Her most important learning đ©âđ«was to be able to say NO! She became an đ inspiring young womanđ fighting for her daughter. She told me: âI am working hard because I do not want my daughter to sufferâ She also became class representative at school. Whatâs really struck me was when she took me aside before I left. She asked me support for one recurring challenge: sanitary napkins for her classmates. Her only request was not even for herself but for her classmates⊠17 years old and she is already an inspiring leader!đȘđ .
đ”At our own pace and scaler, everyone can aspire to change the World!”đ
