Esther Nambusi is 21.

Growing up with 12 bothers and 12 sisters, meant that Esther had to learn how to stand out from a crowd, which she does through music and drama.  She lives with her Step-mother in Kampala while her parents remain on their village land where they farm and try to make ends meet. 

She is passionate about what Uganda has to offer the world and is excited to be undertaking a course in Hotel and Tourism Administration. She hopes one day to represent her country in the Tourism industry.
This is an example of the inspiring stories of how past and current partnerships between sponsors and students are allowing young Ugandans to seize a better future and filling the hearts and imaginations of North Americans. These students have worked hard and we have seen their confidence and pride grow each month. BeadforLife strives hard to support students not only with the vocational training, but also with 'wrap-around' skills like resume writing, interviewing, networking, and work ethic. We do this in our monthly Friday Afternoon Club, as well as in one-on-one counseling with students.

BeadforLife also attempts to help students find jobs once they graduate. If you are interested in sponsoring a student, please click here.
