Sponsored by The Mark Torrance Foundation

Resty Nalweyiso is 19 years old.

 

Resty’s father died when she was young, leaving the family with no breadwinner.  She worked various small jobs in a brave attempt to assist her family’s fight for survival, but knew that she needed to do more.

Resty is now attending a Computing course with the goal of working as an administrative assistant after completing her training. 

She is certain that having a qualification will help her land a stable job and will greatly assist her and all her relatives who depend on her.

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.
