Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>YOUNG girls especially those from pastoral communities have been advised and encouraged to claim their basic rights including access to education that would help them achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n

The advice was given recently, by a young graduate, Ms Asifiwe Mbuyuk, who is from a pastoral family, in an exclusive interview with the \u2018Daily News\u2019, where among other things; she explained how she consulted her parents and assisted her to study to the University.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite all the efforts by the government and various activists encouraging girl child from pastoral communities to get access to good education, there are some girls from various communities, especially in pastorals\u2019 families, who still do not get their right to education because of misguided traditions. These girls lack courage to express themselves against their situations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Explaining on what led her to realise her dream, Ms Asifiwe said she attributed her success to her parents, adding: \u201cI had a vision in mind and decided to consult my parents who went ahead to encourage me.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo prove that they supported me\u2026 my parents catered for my educational needs until I reached first year at the university, and thereafter, they couldn\u2019t afford any more. \u201cThereafter, I decided seek support from a local Non-Governmental Organisation-Ishinde Youth Initiative (IYI) which helped me to find a donor, who funded my last two years at the university,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Ms Asifiwe who is now volunteering at the IYI, urged her fellow girls to develop a culture of volunteering in community work with NGOs after studies while waiting to be fully employed.<\/p>\n

On his part, the IYI Director, Mr Noel Kipesha, said that the organisation was moved by Asifiwe\u2019s courage to get access to good education, hence the NGOs\u2019 decision to find her a donor, who could help her finish her studies at the Tumaini Makumira University based in Arusha Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo address the challenge she was facing, the head of one of our supporting partners- a Non-Governmental Organisation Social Business Stiftung from Germany visited Same and that is when Asifiwe got her luck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further said it was courage that made her succeed and urged fellow girls from the pastoralist communities to emulate her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
