Hajra Mohammed Haji
Hajra finished sixth in her class on the first term exams in April. She lives a half hour walk from Ben Bella and thanks S4Si for including transportation costs in the stipend money so she doesn’t have to worry about whether or not she can afford to take the dala dala to school every day. She hopes someday to work in Zanzibar’s Ministry of Education.
