Building Her Own Future
KudaVana has good reputation of identifying skills in children and help them to chase dreams. 18-year-old Nesta* is the perfect example. Nesta has been with Kuda Vana since she was young, and has grown in to a kind, caring young woman who has a gentle touch with children. Academics are not Nesta’s talent, but she was given a chance to explore the world and make a life for herself through a Beauty Therapy Program in the local town of Mutare.
Nesta is now training to become a professional Beauty Therapist, and lives independently and under the watchful eye of her employer while she pursues a two-year certificate in Beauty Therapy. She has a strong passion for what she is doing, and enjoys giving massages, pedicures and more to her clients. This vocation is the perfect match for Nesta’s personality and skills. I recently had the opportunity to visit her, and she was well prepared and displayed high levels of professionalism.
Nesta is looking forward to a bright future where she might own her own salon one day and provide for herself and her family.
I would love to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to Kuda Vana’s supporters for allowing this young lady to fly high. We are committed to helping every child in our care not just survive, but thrive and empowering them to find their individual path in life. Your love and efforts towards improving vulnerable children`s lives is greatly appreciated.
