Meet Madrine
Growing up in a polygamous family of six siblings and 34 half-siblings, Madrine struggled to find her place and the resources to attend school regularly. Her emotional battle with anger almost consumed her as she processed the poverty that surrounded her. The voices of others suppressed her dream of becoming a journalist.
Now with the support of Ravens, Madrine’s dreams have been restored. She currently attends one of the best journalism schools in Uganda. After learning healthy ways to cope with anger, she is motivated to impact and teach others what she has learned. When Madrine is not in class or studying, you’ll find her serving in leadership roles at school and her church.
Madrine’s self-esteem has grown over time as she can now express herself well in English. Her social skills have greatly improved, and she looks forward to using her media education to influence communities.
“In the future, I want to help my mom, and I want to help people who are in the same situation I was in,” she explains.
