Sunday Margaret is one of many girls that Edukid has supported through primary and secondary education. Sunday achieved the qualifications needed in order to apply for university and will be pursuing her dreams of becoming a nurse through Edukid’s University Scholarship Programme.

Sunday currently lives with her mother and 4 siblings. Sadly, her father died during the Civil War that took place close to their home in Northern Uganda. Sunday’s Mother, now the only provider for her family, never had the opportunity to go to school meaning that she has struggled to find employment and as result has always had very little income. She generally farms her small plot of land, and they survive off of the produce. The family live in chronic poverty and would be unable to fully fund Sunday’s education without Edukid’s help.

Edukid are providing 70% of Sunday’s educational fees. The remaining 30% will be the responsibility of Sunday’s wider family and friends. This is in order that the entire community are empowered to support Sunday in her journey to becoming a nurse, working together to support each other.

Sunday Margaret worked incredibly hard throughout school and university and is now working in the local prison in Gulu and has been employed as a ‘Prison Nurse for Juveniles’.

Since her employment she has already helped so many young people!

Without education, this position she is in and the opportunities she is able to offer others within her community truly would not have been possible.
