Meet Prisca
Prisca faced the daunting challenge of discontinuing her education and getting married, a decision shaped more by circumstance than choice. She became a mother at 14, adding another layer of complexity to her young life. Othakarhaka helped Prisca out of her marriage and provided the financial support she needed to return to school.

Meet Priscilla
Priscilla is a multifaceted talent and a recognized leader among her peers, yet she faced the challenge of transitioning from primary to secondary education without financial support from her parents.

Her ambition extends beyond the classroom; Priscilla aims to become a community leader, dedicated to spreading kindness and empowering young people through education. Her journey reflects a deep commitment to fostering positive change and nurturing the next wave of leaders and thinkers.
