Eva

One of the first girls rescued and enrolled into Kwagala Project's aftercare program, Eva is an extraordinary example of what's possible when given the opportunity to thrive. Three years ago, after being taken out of an unspeakable situation, Eva focused her attention on the arduous task of mastering English.  She wanted more than to learn a few conversational phrases, her aim was to become proficient in speaking, reading, and writing the language. Within months of her rescue Eva was accepted into a highly reputable boarding school in Kampala.  She did exceedingly well; her teachers were impressed by her comprehension and character.  Eva graduated with honors last year.

This fall, Eva commenced her university career.  Her area of study is counseling.  Her dream is to be a social worker.  Eva's heart is to help more girls out of the commercial sex trade.

"Everything is possible!" She says often, and with a giant smile.  Dozens of younger girls at Kwagala Project are inspired by her achievements and joyful tenacity.  Eva doesn't perceive that as pressure. To her it's another opportunity to encourage and inspire.   She's already an amazing counselor!
