Meet Annet

​Annet lost her mother at a young age, and with her father rarely around, she was passed between extended family members. Sadly, she became a child laborer, cleaning houses instead of going to school. Struggling to stay in school, Annet eventually moved in with her grandmother to be her caretaker.

I am very grateful for this scholarship, because it has given me a purpose in life. I will not be like the other village girls whose sole purpose is to be a wife and mother.”​

When Global Village Connect stepped in with a scholarship, everything changed. Annet was finally able to attend school consistently, focus on her studies, and build healthy friendships without constant disruptions.

​This November, Annet will sit for her national exams, with her sights set on nursing school—a dream now within reach thanks to the support she’s received.
