Dorothy really wants to share her story with you.
Because you make it possible for her to access free education at Nyaka Vocational Secondary School, Dorothy is passionate about studying science! In between studying chemistry and playing cards with her friends, she studies airplanes. She is determined to defy the odds and become one of Uganda’s only female pilots.
You’d never know it through her smiles, but she once was a victim of cruel bullying. Before you made it possible for her to receive support at Nyaka, she hated her old school.
Though Dorothy lives with illness and a difficult home life, your schools serve as her safe haven. Dorothy no longer survives day-to-day. Today, she is thriving academically because she has friends and kind adults who support her.
