Catherine Nkhoma (LSZ-021)

My name is Catherine Nkhoma a girl born November 15, 2000 doing grade 11 at Kamaila Secondary School. Both of my parents are deceased, I live in Lukata Village with my grandmother, who supports six grandchildren, including me. We try to help by weeding people’s gardens or sowing seeds and cleaning people’s gardens and homes. It is a great challenge as the pay we get barely sustains us. Despite the struggle I have chosen to concentrate on my education, my hard work paid off when I passed my exams with outstanding results to grade ten then eleven. At secondary school, the fees are higher and my grandmother fails to meet all my needs. Your support towards my education will be appreciated, as it is my goal to be a better person and support my family out of poverty in the future.
