Once you’ve completed the actions, we’ll send you an award and certificates for you to present to your students at your award ceremony or your annual prize giving.

How we helped Harriet*

Harriet*,14, at school, Bidi Bidi Refugee settlement, Northern Uganda.

 

When a girl child is given a chance, she can do what a boy child can do,” says 14-year-old Harriet. 

When Harriet’s family were forced to flee South Sudan, she was afraid she would never get back to school. But then she joined our Accelerated Learning Programme for child refugees – and her learning took off.

Now, Harriet’s caught up on the education she missed, and is doing brilliantly at school. She’s even been chosen as Head Girl by the other pupils. This top student is determined to become a lawyer, and make life better for people in South Sudan. “I’m going to change the world!” she says.
