“My name is Precious Likela. I am a 16-year-old girl, and my father and mother don’t have any paid work. I started going to a government school when I was seven, but had to stop attending because my parents had no money.
I was then very lucky. The Mukwashi teachers found me, arranged for me to have a free place at their school, and I’ve been at Mukwashi for eight years now. Mukwashi has opened my world, and I can now read and write clearly in English. I am doing well at school, and, when I have finished studying, I want to become a teacher.”
