Rhoda

Rhoda started out as one of our Resource Centre members in Bajjo. She originally comes from Matuga, a town about 15 miles south, but was studying in Bombo locally. Rhoda was able to complete to Secondary 4, but was unable to finish secondary school due to a lack of funds. Rhoda comes from a relatively disadvantaged background – her parents are both farmers and it was looking likely she would return home to assist her parents farming their land in Matuga.

Thanks to the sponsorship from Uganda Creates, Rhoda was able to attend Don Bosco College in Bombo to complete her vocational training as a hairdresser. Following the successful completion of a one-year course, Rhoda is now employed as a hairdresser in Success Beauty Salon in Bombo.
