Fatma Azad Sharif
Fatma was first in the Form Three class at Ben Bella Secondary School. Her grades were all A’s except for one B in Swahili. Both of her older brothers have gone off to college and her family is struggling to pay those fees. They are proud of Fatma for earning the S4Si scholarship to pay for her own secondary school costs.
A woman in the developing world will reinvest 90% of her earnings into her family’s well-being, compared with 35% for a man.
