Introducing Ninsiima Daphine

My name is Daphine

I am going to advanced level, I am so excited to have gotten good grades at Ordinary level and that adds up the excitement I get to be getting to a new level.

It’s been a long journey of thoughts, hustles tears but light keeps coming my way.

I like girl child education because it makes us believe in who we are, what we become and makes our goals alive I love all that.

As girls in my community face so many challenges such as early marriages, childhood sex, and so many more, I would love to make it a big point yo help everyone with a key to the big success. 

In this, I can’t stand alone, I need the key to education, I need to be alive with knowledge.

So I dearly request for a hand in support for my advanced level education 

Thank you so much 🤗

In November of 2020, shortly after moving to Shushan, Edmond "Eddy" Akandwanaho, who befriended a friend of mine while she visited Lake Bunyonyi's Orphanage in Uganda, reached out to me on Facebook, saying that "good people have good friends" and that he wanted to get to know me.

Over the course of that month, he and I developed a friendship while sharing quotes and parables about life. I shared with him the idea of Green Earth, my environmental non-profit that aims to bring sustainability to the world. However, it was immediately clear that Eddy and his peers from the orphanage could hardly earn an education, much less contribute to the environmental movement.

I came to support Eddy's education at the Ntare School in Mbarara, and after a year of working with him, mentoring him, and getting to know him, I realized that we have to scale our efforts, to ensure that education is readily accessible to more of his peers, to avoid a lost generation of young people.

When I asked Eddy to find a young woman who could join our effort to be part of the Lake Bunyonyi's educational wave, he quickly thought of his long-time friend Ninsiima, a younger student who has overcome, and continues to overcome, great odds to become educated.

You can watch Eddy and Ninsiima introduce the importance of education in the following video. Then, view the presentation where Ninsiima shares her story, and offers a way for you to help.
