Meet Promise
Promise was just 6 when she had been shunned from four primary schools. Her father desperately searched for a school that could take on Promise, but was rejected every time, until he found Bebor International Model School. Promise suffers from Polio; unable to walk, and facing some learning difficulties she faced rejection after rejection from state schools. One school accused her of being possessed by a crocodile spirit that had maimed her body, instead of recognising her disability.
Promise is now 9 years old and has hopes to go on to University and become an English teacher. She spends lots of time in the library and exploring the gardens within the school grounds. Thanks to your support, Promise has become independent and can quickly move around school in her wheelchair, as well as accessing a good quality, fully inclusive education.
