" Personal experience drives my work. As a single mother who had her child in my
second year of university, it really proved difficult for me to continue pursuing the
degree that I was undertaking at the time, this is despite the fact that I had a
supportive family, now imagine those who are younger than I was...still in their early
teens , who are forced to drop out of school and married off to older men....I look
forward to learning from the Millennium Fellowship , gaining skills that will help me drive
my passion for this course forward. That education is a right, even for young mothers. "
