Anita moved from her village to the city of Kampala in search of employment after dropping out of school, due to the lack of school fees. She ended up in the slums of Kampala where she started working as a maid. She was abused by her employer who threw her out when she became pregnant. As a result, she found herself homeless and without the means to return to her village. Upon learning of her situation, Hope Shine began providing support until she gave birth to her precious baby. We then enrolled her in our vocational program, where she successfully graduated with a certificate in hairdressing and cosmetology. Hope Shine provided the necessary equipment for Anita to start her own hair salon. Today, she is a proud business owner and she has worked so hard to expand her business. She is now able to provide for her family and her baby is attending baby classes (preschool).
