Roberta

Roberta’s father passed away suddenly when she was in high school. This created a great burden on her mother as she struggled to care for her two children from whatever she could sell to get a little money to feed them. HopE Ghana gave her a scholarship from the later part of her third year until she graduated from high school a year later. This support was a massive relief to her mother, who was also reeling under the burden of losing her husband so suddenly. Roberta is now in Berekum Nursing Training and Midwifery College. She still needs HopE Ghana’s support to complete her nursing training. Roberta hopes to become a great health care worker who can bring relief to the afflicted and suffering.
