Priska Paskal Khaday, 17,

"Coming from the humble fields of Monduli district in Arusha, I am Priska, the third among five siblings, nurtured by the loving hands of my parents who are devoted small-scale farmers. Growing up, dreams seemed like luxuries, far beyond the reach of our daily struggles. Yet, amidst these challenges, I harbored a dream that shimmered with hope and possibility. Today, that dream isn't just a distant desire; it's my reality. With the support of MIZIZI YA MAFANIKIO, I'm embarking on my first year of studies in Hair Dressing and Beauty at Right Winners Training Center, all from the comfort of a hostel that's become my stepping stone to the future. This journey represents more than just personal achievement; it's a testament to the power of community, support, and unwavering belief in potential. My heart is filled with gratitude for MIZIZI YA MAFANIKIO and every individual who plays a part in transforming lives like mine. As I weave through my studies, each day brings me closer to not only mastering my craft but also to the day I can give back to my community, inspire others to chase their dreams, and show the world the beauty that comes from resilience. Thank you for believing in my dreams and for making them a vibrant reality. Together, we're not just changing lives; we're sculpting a future brimming with hope, beauty, and endless possibilities."
