TAIWO RASHIDAT, Age 14
Thirteen-year-old Taiwo Rashidat used to dread going to school. She had to walk a long way with her younger brother, and being body-shamed made her angry and defensive—she often fought with others and found it hard to trust anyone. That changed when she joined Bramble. For the first time, Rashidat felt accepted and encouraged. She began to love learning, made friends, and discovered how to work with others. Bramble’s support has given her confidence and kindness, helping her grow in so many ways. Now, Rashidat can read, do math, and share stories from Nigeria’s history. She dreams of becoming a teacher so she can help other children grow, just as she has. Your support lets Rashidat and children like her keep learning, changing, and reaching for their dreams.
