Margareta

Margareta has come up to Kilema to greet us and as a bright student she wishes to continue to study after completing two years of computer courses at San Jose. She has always been an ambition student and has succeeded well academically. She now has moved to an academic level that is beyond the scope of our KSF Tuition Project so We have asked her to tell her story and she typed it in herself with her now excellent computer skills. It is her aim to study accounting and feels this will give her a better chance at a better job and greater independence.

Please refer to Students Seeking Sponsorship on the home page where Margareta’s story, goals and tuition needs are outlined.

Please contact us if you have any questions or have an interest in helping this student, who we have followed for five year, reach her educational goals, future economic security and autonomy.
