My name is Juliana Chepisho, I am 14 years old and I am in class 7 at Kamketo primary school. Our school was visited early this year before the Corona outbreak with a team from “Kasei for change”. They talked to us about female gentile mutilation (FGM), the dangers associated with this, the need to continue with our education and avoid things which will interfere with our education, like FGM, like early marriages and becoming pregnant. I think they really helped us.

My dream is to become a doctor, we do not have doctors here and there are many sick people that I want to help, says Juliana. I believe my father will support my dream and support my education!

I come from a family of eight in our house only, my father and Mother and seven children (four males and three females). Our father has another family too with 7 more children. He is a motorbike rider, he does not make a lot of money from that and therefore our mother has to do some manual works to be able to feed us.

I want to bring change to our community when I eventually grow up!
