Jessica

Jessica is from a family of six. Her father does a variety of odd jobs; her mother is an assistant to a local canteen. With a family of six to care for, and with her father periodically out of a job, it was hard for Jessica to get an education. HopE Ghana gave Jessica boarding fees to help her complete her high school education. She is now applying for admission to University to study Information and Communications Technology. Her goal is to become a Database Administrator. HopE Ghana’s support to date is not enough for Jessica to realize her dream.
