Doreka is a 15 year old girl, and in her first year of high school. she was born in a family of five as the last born but her mother as the second wife. By the time she was four years old, she had lost both her parents and was taken up by her maternal aunt.
Her aunt however already had a big family of her own and was already struggling to make ends meet, its been a constant struggle for this little girl to keep at school without being sent away because of her inability to pay tuition. Her aunt digs on other peoples farms and its not enough to feed and take care of her family given she earns around 2 dollars for her days wage. this sometimes can only afford them a meal or none in a day.
Doreka’s dream is to be a medical doctor so that one day she is able to move back home and meet her community’s medical needs.
She loves to play netball and red is her favorite color. Choosing to sponsor her will be giving her hope for the future.
