Kadiatu wants to be a lawyer!

Kadiatu is a thirteen year old girl who lives with her parents, three brothers and a sister in a two bedroom apartment with no running water or electricity in Sierra Leone. Kadiatu’s mother Ramatu is a petty trader that sells fruit and is the main provider of their home with a monthly income of $40.  This is not enough to cover their basic needs and her father Foday is unemployed.

Kadiatu is a pupil of the FAWE primary school and she is in class six. Her favorite subject is English Language and she likes drawing and reading novels. Kadiatu wants to be a Lawyer when she finishes her education, but she uses a kerosene lamp to study at night and sleeps on a mat spread on a bare floor. Kadiatu wants to learn to be computer literate because she understands that this is necessary for her future.

The scholarship for Kadiatu will help her fulfill her dreams and for that she is extremely thankful!
