Adding value
Once she was a sponsored child herself, now she is looking after children just like she was.

Anety is adding value to her community.
|
Anety was sponsored through the Bugabo Area Development Programme (ADP) for more than ten years. In addition to the benefits the development programme has brought to the whole community, World Vision has helped Anety and the other sponsored children by providing uniforms, school fees and other items, such as soap.
“These supplemented my mother’s income and eventually enabled me to complete my primary school, as well as secondary school education,” she says.
In early 2001, fellow villagers elected Anety as a member of the community’s sponsorship sub-committee. In November of the same year she applied for a job with the ADP’s customer relations department. She won the position over 17 other candidates.
Anety is the first former sponsored child to be employed as a customer relations secretary with Bugabo ADP. Her role includes regularly visiting sponsored children to check on their wellbeing and progress, and translating and delivering sponsors’ mail.
Now that she has a job, Anety is no longer sponsored herself, but she says she feels very fortunate.
“My community trusts me and I share their dreams. I hope I will add some value to the sustainability of our project. My vision is to see that our community becomes self-sustainable when World Vision leaves.”
