Tiyemike lives with her mom, dad, and three older sisters in Mwanza village. All four sisters attend secondary school. Her mom is a nurse and her father has a small business. Tiyamike enjoys music and acting. Her special talent is singing.

Tiyemike is very thankful and happy that the people of Good Soil Partners care about education. This is very inspiring for her. Tiyamike’s strengths in school are history and biology. She has won an award for a French singing completion, and she is a prefect at school. She is challenged by physics. Tiyemike’s poor eyesight affects her writing and reading. Her future goals are to complete hairdressing school to earn money to go to college and become a surgeon. She would appreciate if Good Soil Partners would consider her for a scholarship to provide school fees and supplies.

Update for Tiyemike

School is going well for Tiyamike! She is working very hard to beat her scores from last year. Last year, mathematics was very difficult for her but she is happy to report that this year she is doing much better!

She is very happy that she is in school and appreciates the help she receives for school fees, school supplies and guidance from GSP. Because of your support, she is able to also participate in extra curricular’s as well. She is very excited to take part in the French drama competition, a yearly competition that she has been chosen for the last two years!
