In Mbayani Village, Village Headman Mwamadi most of the girls dropped out of school. But one girl was living with a single parent, her mother.
Her name was Veronica and she was hardworking in class. She faced a lot of resistance from her neighbours who told her to stop going to school and get married to a rich old man.
But Veronica was assertive and she knew that school would one day help her in future.
One day, she reported what she was going through and she took the matter to the village headman.
The chief applauded Veronica for what she did and he punished the neighbours for what they were telling her.
Veronica joined a certain group called She Dreams where she was motivated to continue with her education and worked hard until she was selected to a public university.
Now she has a very good job. This changed her family’s living standards greatly.
Not long ago, she was crowned as ambassador for girls in the whole country. She is respected all over.
