Relations and Administrative Officer

Jackline Kwagala

After Esther invited Jackie to a course named Loi in 2018, and they had been friends for about 15 years, Jackie became interested and was entrusted with a contract to facilitate a women's group in 2021. She wasn't the most confident person she is today, and having been someone with anger, antisocial behavior, and impatience, she has really grown out to be such a good relations officer. She has learned to love what she does and even treasures the Youth & Women empowerment, and by Grace and submission, runs such a big part of the organization. Even better, she made quite a surprising decision to go back to school in pursuit of social work, then to psychology with the goal of acquiring knowledge on therapy. She is such a Joy to work with and she is so grateful to the transformation she's been through by the helping hand of Jamii Tofauti.

The answer was always the same a sigh, a weary look, and silence. Sarah, a widow living with HIV, carried the weight of her children’s needs on fragile shoulders. Every day was a battle to put food on the table, let alone afford school fees. Gift, along with her siblings, had been out of school for too long. She was bright, curious, and full of potential, but poverty had killed her dreams before they could even take flight. Then, hope arrived. When we found Gift, she was just another child left behind by circumstances beyond her control. But something in her eyes told a different story one of resilience and of a hunger to learn. Through sponsorship, she got that chance. With her school fees covered and a pathway to education opened, Gift walked into a classroom for the first time in a long while. At first, she struggled, catching up wasn’t easy, and self-doubt lingered. But as the days turned into months, she transformed. Her confidence grew, her grades improved, and soon, she was excelling
