Meet Fatima
Fatima is an 11-year-old girl from Kenya whose determination knows no bounds. Every day, she walks 6 kilometers each way to attend school, often arriving before any of her classmates.
In her community, many girls her age have already stopped attending school, but Fatima is determined to break this cycle. She is passionate about women's rights and education, and she organizes study groups for other girls in her village.
Fatima excels in all her subjects but is particularly drawn to social studies and debate. She dreams of becoming a lawyer to advocate for girls' education and women's rights in her country.
Her teachers describe her as a natural leader who inspires both her peers and adults with her conviction and eloquence.
