Sumaya appreciates the new school uniform!

The word Sumaya means powerful in Arabic and this smart young woman lives up to the meaning of her name!  She enjoys studying and during her breaks from school helps her dad in her family’s sole making business to help cover her school fees.  She works hard in the hopes of one day receiving a college scholarship so that her school fees aren’t a burden to her family and siblings to follow.  She hopes to one day be an entrepreneur here in Rwanda to help her family and others who are less fortunate.  She enjoys chess and yoga and when asked about what she appreciates about the Gashora Girls academy, she reported that she is grateful for the courage this education has given her.  Thank you, Employees of Microsoft and Craig, for coming together to help Sumaya achieve her dreams!
