Ophelia is currently enrolled in fourth grade after successfully completing third grade. She has shown steady academic progress, particularly in English and Science, and continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to her education despite ongoing challenges at home. Girl Power Africa’s support—especially assistance with school fees, uniforms, and supplies—has made it possible for Ophelia to remain in school and focus on her studies. Although she faces financial hardship and significant household responsibilities with limited parental support, Ophelia remains motivated and determined to succeed, with hopes of one day giving back to her community and helping others.
