Darline is a bright and determined young girl. She has come a long way thanks to our program that works to support girls’ education. Today, she is in her final year of high school.

Growing up in a poor community where many children struggle to stay in school. Darline faced many challenges. Her family could not afford school fees, and she often lacked basic supplies. But with the support of our program, she received everything she needed to stay in school from tuition and uniforms to learning materials and mentorship.

Darline has made good use of this opportunity. She is passionate about helping others and is an active member of St John Ambulance, a charity that helps people by teaching first aid and giving medical help at events or in emergencies. She also enjoys the arts and takes part in her school’s drama club. Her dream is to become an interior designer, where she can use her creativity to design beautiful spaces that improve people’s lives.

Her teachers describe her as focused, helpful, and a natural leader. She inspires other girls in her school to stay motivated and dream big. Darline’s story is just one example of the impact you make when you support education for girls. There are many more students like her, full of talent and potential, just waiting for the same opportunity.
