EVELYN: S429-KIA

Evelyn is now 15 years old and, following a reassessment conducted at her school, she was placed back into Kindergarten 2 this year after not meeting the requirements for the second grade. While this has been disappointing for her, Evelyn has promised to work very hard, aiming not only to pass but hopefully to achieve a double promotion and catch up with her peers. Despite the setback, Evelyn remains determined and motivated to learn. She continues to benefit from the support provided by Girl Power, which has supplied her with shoes, books, a school bag, and covered her school fees—resources that give her the opportunity to focus on her education. Evelyn’s mother continues to express deep gratitude for the organization’s support, which has made a meaningful difference in their lives. With her renewed commitment, Evelyn is ready to apply herself fully this year, showing resilience and dedication as she works toward improving her academic performance and building a brighter future.

This combined with the lack of technology in the schools, some schools made the decision to keep students in their current grade level for the 2021/2022 school year. Evelyn was kept in her current grade level of K-2 grade for the upcoming school year. She continues to live with her grandmother and still wants to be a teacher when she grows up.
