Regina Marwa

Regina Marwa

Form IV

Kurya Tribe (Mara Region)

Born 1 January 1992 in Msoma


Favorite subjects:

History and Geography

Future dreams:

Regina wants to become a judge like her father. She wants to help children and orphans to fight for their rights. She had to experience herself how it feels to watch relatives taking all the inheritance her father saved for her and her sisters.

Hobbies:

Regina enjoys exchanging ideas, listening to music (she likes Chris Brown best) and watching TV in her holidays

Her parents:

When Regina was only a few months old, her mother left the family. Her father married again and had two more daughters. He was a judge working for the army. One night in 1999 he was shot in an operation. He left his fortune and two houses for his children. A significant part of it was taken by Regina’s stepmother, but her uncle took the rest and also gets the money from renting the house.

Her siblings:

Regina has four sisters; two of them are half- sisters.

Her guardian:

Regina’s guardian is her aunt with whom she lived after her father’s death. Her stepmother died in 2002. Her aunt supported her primary education and Regina stays with her in the holiday.

How Regina came to Bethsaida:

Regina’s aunt heard the Bethsaida announcement in radio. She was on position number 22 after attending interview and test. In the night of the 23rd of January (the day before the Bethsaida school opened) she got a call that she finally got a place. By four o’clock the next day she had to do all the preparation (e.g. tailor a school uniform, buy shoes, exercise books, etc.). But in the end she arrived in time and started her life in Bethsaida as the youngest girl of all, which “sometimes was hard” for her.

What Regina wants others to know about her:

If any person wants to know her better, she would love to give them her contact and a number to call. Regina says: "I need to study hard in order to have a good life! I wish that my dreams come true. At the moment I think too much about future ..." She hopes that she will be selected for a government school, where the fees are low. If this is not the case, she doesn’t know what to do without a sponsor.
