Currently, in standard eight, Debra is on the brink of a significant milestone—her national exam in November 2023. However, her journey has not been without obstacles. The financial constraints of her family meant periodic struggles to gather school fees, leading to moments when she was sent home.
Enter the Opening Village Doors Foundation, a beacon of hope for Debra and many others like her.

This scholarship not only brightened her future but fueled a newfound motivation to excel academically and fulfill her dream of becoming a surgeon.
