Featured Alumni
As a lawyer, I represent the poor in a society where some believe that justice is only for the Rich. I fight for girls who have been made to feel like objects used by men—I fight for girls so that they may find their worth and begin to dream again.

Bachelor of Laws (LLB)
Class of 2013
As a nurse, my desire is to help improve the health and wellness of people in different communities. I want to help end the cycle of sexual violence because I understand what trauma looks like. Being a survivor, I would like to help other survivors through the journey of healing and help bring back justice to the girl child.

Sexual violence it is one of the greatest social evils in our communities today. I believe that it's time for communities to stand against it. Now as Freely in Hope's Program Manager, I am ending sexual violence every day by educating teachers, caregivers, boys, girls, and children about sexual violence and its prevention. We can make the world a better place.
