Solange dreams of becoming a pilot
Before MindLeaps, Solange lived with her mother with 3 other siblings. Her mother couldn't afford paying her school fees or scholastic materials, and she was unable to provide basic needs for all her kids. This caused Solange to drop out of school in primary 4 (4th grade). After joining MindLeaps in 2018, Solange went back to school and now she is among the best academic performers. Her mother joined MindLeaps Family Strengthening Program where she received business microloans, and she has a small business of selling fruit. Solange enjoys reading books, and dancing ballet
Solange is being sponsored in 2021-22 by Stefanie Boffoli.
