In 2022, Fendi (pseudo name) a young girl from Kigoma faced a life-altering challenge. After sitting for her Mock exams, a practice test before the form IV national exams, she discovered she was pregnant. The news led to her dismissal from school, and she returned home. Soon after, she suffered a miscarriage, “I lost both, the baby and my education,” said Fendi.
Life at home in Kigoma was difficult, but hope arrived in an unexpected form. Her aunt stepped in and brought her to Dodoma, where her uncle, a local education coordinator, asked if she still wanted to continue her studies, which in her mind it was the best choice. “Finally, someone can see me,” said Fendi. With the support of her aunt, she seized the opportunity to rebuild her life and leave behind the struggles of Kigoma.
Through the support of Amani Girls Organization, she was provided with a hostel and meals, ensuring she could focus entirely on her education. With this newfound stability, she focused her energy into her studies and recently (2024) completed her Form IV exams.
Now, with her eyes set on the future, she dreams of becoming a teacher. Her goal is not just to educate but to inspire students to persevere, regardless of life’s challenges. “Even if a girl faces pregnancy, it is not the end of her life, she can still continue her education and achieve her dreams,” she said.
Her next plan is to pursue college, earning a certificate and eventually a degree. Through her story, she hopes to encourage others to fight for their education, no matter the obstacles. With resilience and support, she has turned her challenges into stepping stones toward a brighter future.
