Alice is a bright, intelligent, and creative young girl in Grade 11. She dreams of becoming a lawyer one day , a profession she believes will allow her to speak up for others and bring justice to those in need. Alongside her academic aspirations, she has a passion for cosmetology and hopes to one day master the art of beauty and self-expression. In her free time, Alice enjoys drawing, crafting, singing, and playing with children, her talents shining through in everything she does.
Her story, however, is one of both resilience and courage in the face of hardship.
After the death of their father, Alice and her elder brother were taken in by their loving aunt, Judith. Determined to give them a better life, Judith worked tirelessly as an assistant accountant at a private school in Livingstone. She provided everything they needed, food, shelter, and education, ensuring the children never felt the weight of their loss.
But in April 2019, tragedy struck again when the school where Judith worked was liquidated. Without any benefits or severance, she suddenly lost her only source of income. The family’s stability crumbled overnight. Two other children Judith had been supporting had to drop out of college, and Alice was transferred from a private school to a government school.
Despite the setback, Judith refused to give up. With courage and faith, she began a small business selling doormats to provide at least one meal a day for her family. Her strength and perseverance have kept the household going, even when times were toughest.
Alice’s elder brother, equally determined, began studying for his accounting certification (ZICA) through self-study. He takes on small piecework jobs to raise money for his exams, a powerful example of responsibility and hope for the family’s future.
Through all these challenges, Alice has remained focused, driven, and full of gratitude. Her dreams remain alive because of the support she now receives through Wings of Hope, which is helping her stay in school and move closer to her goals.
“I am so thankful for the support from Wings of Hope. It is helping me stay focused and believe that my dreams can come true,” Alice shares with a bright smile.
At Wings of Hope, we are deeply honored to walk alongside Alice and her family on their journey toward a better future. With continued support, Alice can achieve her dream of becoming a lawyer and one day be the voice of hope for others, just as Wings of Hope has been for her.
Together, we can keep Alice’s dream alive.
