Name of Beneficiary: Namayanja Tendo Deborah

Age: 15 years

Desired Course: Tailoring

From a young age, Deborah dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. But after losing her father the sole provider for their family, her dreams were put on hold. With her unemployed mother struggling to support five children, continuing school was no longer an option.

Now, at just 15 years old, Deborah spends her days helping her mother sell food to casual laborers, a tough reality that exposes her to the risk of early marriage or pregnancy a fate that has already befallen many girls in her community who were forced out of school. She fears she could be next, especially as the financial burden on her mother grows heavier.

But Deborah is determined to break the cycle. She knows that fashion design isn’t just a dream, it’s her chance at a better future. Given the opportunity to acquire tailoring skills, she believes she can change not only her life but also her family’s story by helping her mother and ensuring her younger siblings stay in school rather than being forced to drop out like she did.

Deborah is ready to fight for her future, but she can’t do it alone. Your support can help her gain the skills she needs to become independent, lift her family out of poverty, and inspire other girls in her community to dream beyond their circumstances.Will you help Deborah turn her passion into a life-changing opportunity?
