MAKING A DIFFERENCE


SUSAN'S STORY: TRANSFORMATION THROUGH READING CLUBS

My name is Susan. I am in Primary 6 at Abim Primary School. I used to struggle a
lot with school and often thought about dropping out because I didn’t believe I
could succeed. My mother had encouraged me to stay home and wait to join a
tailoring school but when I joined the reading club in my community, everything
changed.
As I interacted with my friends during the reading sessions and played games, I
slowly gained confidence and courage. My grades have improved a little, and I
feel better about myself.  Being part of the reading club has allowed me to
learn new skills and look at life in a more positive way and to that effect, I
am carrying on with my primary education to the end. The reading club has given
me a safe space to be myself with all my struggles as a struggling pupil.




INSPIRING ALUMNI VISIT

Dr. Okello James now a gynecologist, an alumnus of Abim Primary School, returned
after 40 years, inspiring learners with his success story despite challenging
conditions. His visit instilled hope and motivation among the pupils, showing
them that success is possible even in difficult circumstances. These alumni
visits are empowering, as they provide students with relatable role models who
demonstrate the value of education and perseverance. Hearing firsthand accounts
of overcoming obstacles encourages students to stay committed to their studies,
reducing absenteeism by fostering a sense of purpose and determination. This
consistent engagement enhances academic performance and creates a supportive and
motivating learning environment, contributing significantly to the overall
quality of education.
