LEKAGAYE: S534-SEH

Lekagaye has recently returned to Girl Power Africa after spending several years living away from the program. When she learned that Girl Power Africa was nearby, she came seeking help and asked to be welcomed back. Her time away had been very difficult, and she longed to return to a place where she felt supported and cared for. She is now in the first grade and has the opportunity to continue her education in a more stable environment. Lekagaye is currently living with a new family closer to where she attends school, which makes it easier for her to stay focused on her studies and daily routines. Despite the hardships she has experienced, Lekagaye still holds onto the dreams she shared when she was younger. She once said she hoped to become a cook when she grows up, and her interest in cooking remains close to her heart. Lekagaye is extremely grateful for the chance to be back in school and part of a supportive community again. This new chapter gives her hope, safety, and the opportunity to keep learning and growing.  Sponsored by: Phil Vasby

Thanks to the generous donation from Joyce Jorgensen, Lekagaye has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. She was promoted to the K-1 grade this year and still wants to be a cook when she grows up. She continues to live with her mother.
