My name is Edith, born in the year 2000. I stay in Lukata village and am in grade eleven.  I stay with my mother and father in Lukata. When I was in grade eight (8) I dropped out of school because my parents said they could not afford to pay for my tuition fees from grade 8 onwards. My parents are peasant farmers who only grow enough crops to feed the family. Because of this, my parents later decided to find me a man who could marry me. I was only 15 years old when I dropped out of school. I was scheduled to get married at 16 but Life Savers came to Lukata to educate about child marriage and to enroll children who had dropped out of school because they were pregnant before or because they were married off due to lack of sponsorship. LifeSavers has given me the opportunity to be sponsored, enabling me to have a second chance of education. They helped me see the importance of school and why I should work hard in life. When I complete school, I want to be a teacher so I can help others who may be faced with similar challenges.
