GIRLS EMPOWERMENT
Jacklyne Kathbet
Jacklyne Kathbet is 18 years old, from the village of Tengeru. While she was in Form 3 (the equivalent of grade 9) she became unexpectedly pregnant. Her parents refused to pay for her school fees if she wanted to return. Trying to figure out a way to return to her studies, Jacklyne sent her son to live with her sister. She heard TEKUA had a program for women that would help them complete their studies and support their child with milk. Jacklyne came to TEKUA, was evaluated and accepted into the program. Once she completes the program, Jacklyne hopes to enter into the military.
