Starfish: Husna

My name is Husna Bakari. I am thirty years old. I am married. I have two children, my husband name is Haji. I live in Majengo with my family. My education level is Standard 7 (grade 6).  I did not continue with education because my father refused to pay school fees for me, he said he cannot educate girl, he can educate only boys. I decided to go to GHTA because I needed to continue my education. Since I started here at school, I got some idea while at previous school, I didn’t understand much. But at this moment I am studying how to undergo a business, to speak English and to study. The challenge with studying now is finding someone to care for my child when I am going to school. The best part about school at GHTA is learning how to work and be with different people. After GHTA I will expand my restaurant business and I will be creative with different things. I thank GHTA for the education which gave me the direction of my life.
