Imagine a 14-year-old girl named Tadala Mbewe from Chileka village under TA Chiwere. Her parents are divorced and out of touch, leaving Tadala and her two siblings in the care of their elderly grandmother. Tadala’s uncle, a small-scale tinsmith, steps in to pay her school fees, but by the end of Form 1, he can no longer afford it. Tadala faces the devastating prospect of dropping out of school. This was a sad reality for the Form 2 pupil at Nanthomba Secondary School, until There Is Hope Education Scholarships programme stepped in.
