Don’t just take our word for it

My name is Christine yumbe, and I am a graduate from the Kitwe College of education where I trained as a teacher of English language and Religious education for junior secondary.

I started my training in January, 2021, and obtained a diploma in 2024. And during the first term, i struggled to stay in school and was just about to drop out due to financial problems. At that point, I almost lost hope and was convinced that I was not going to proceed to the next term. However, i desperately prayed about my situation and tried everything to remain in college.

One day, I had the opportunity to share my story with a friend, who then introduced me to Talala Africa. I reached out to Mr. Aaron Ng’ambi who is the founder of the organization and upon visiting with me, he promised to take up the issue with the board members of Talala Africa. This was an answer to my prayers, and I am forever grateful for Talala Africa, for lifting this burden from me and my family. They took it up from my second term of my first year up to my last term of the three (3) years program until I graduated.

Talala Africa has given me the opportunity to learn, to grow, to change, to transfer the knowledge and skills to others and to be shaped and shape the lives of others. Thank you Talala Africa for changing my life! As you gave me a chance of a lifetime. I do not take this opportunity for granted.

Hence, I will continue to work extra hard as a trained teacher and now ambassador for Talala Africa. So that I too can be of help not only to my family members but also to the people in the community.
