At 6, Hope lost her mother and has since lived at Nkosi’s Haven, an orphanage that’s part of our Infinite Family … At 12, she met her video mentor Nicole, who’s in the US, and they’ve been together ever since … At 18, she passed her 12th grade exams with the highest qualifications and planned to study medicine or dentistry, but a disappointing snafu with financial aid ended that dream. Instead she found herself with an unwanted ‘gap year’.
Undaunted, she used the time well, teaching herself how to braid hair and earn money while she sorted out her scholarships and applied to new university programs that became available this year. As of last week, she’s been accepted at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) to study Nuclear Medical Technology starting in January 2025!
Thanks to support from our Infinite Family over the past 7 years, Hope's relationship with her mentor, Nicole, has strengthened her resilience and fueled her hard work.
The final result? Today, Hope knows she is ready for all of the challenges ahead and is excited to bring her focus and persistence to serve her future patients.
