BIO

Doreen was born in Uganda and is one of 10 children. Doreen’s parents are peasants, rearing animals for domestic products. It became a challenge for Doreen and her siblings to attend school due to a lack of financial support and ignorance among parents who didn’t always see the value of education, thinking it was a waste of time and resources. Fortunately, one of Doreen’s elder brothers managed to complete a degree and Doreen decided to work hard and move forward so she can also achieve this goal. 

Doreen is now studying Transport Management at University of Rwanda. Doreen is looking forward to completing her studies and getting a good job, where she hopes to help support her family. She also wants to help develop the larger society, by helping people break out of the rigidities around not educating children and teaching them the advantages of getting an education. 

Doreen enjoys singing and helping others in need through church activities.
