Adama is a former Sisters to School scholar from Senegal and now serves in the Senegalese military as a midwife. Here, she shares her story and the impact Sisters to School has had on her journey:
“My name is Adama, and I’m a Senegalese military midwife currently serving at the Samba Diéry Diallo barracks.
I want to express my deep gratitude to Sisters to School, which has played a decisive role in my life and career. From elementary school through university, this organization has been like a big sister to us, present, caring, and always by our side. Thanks to their ongoing support, I was able to move confidently through my studies and achieve my goals.
Today, being a midwife in the gendarmerie is a tremendous source of pride for me. But I owe this success in large part to Sisters to School, who believed in me and supported me every step of the way.
To the entire Sisters to School team, thank you—truly. I hope my story inspires other young girls to believe in themselves and never give up on their dreams.”
