Stories of impact

Fatmata's story: from Class 5 to university.

"Being part of Concern Mothers is one of my greatest achievements. As the first child to become part of this noble family, I feel proud and grateful when I look back at how far I have come."

Fatmata Sandy joined Concern Mothers at age 10, while in Class 5. Today she is pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Communication and Media at Njala University, Mokonde Campus.

After losing her mother at age 11, Fatmata found steady support in the movement's founder, Mama Haja—who stood by her at her mother's burial, welcomed her into her home during school holidays, and helped carry her education from primary school through high school and into university.

Read Fatmata's full story

"My name is Fatmata Sandy, a student at Njala University, Mokonde Campus, pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Agricultural Communication and Media.

I became part of Concern Mothers when I was only 10 years old and in Class 5. Since then, Mama Haja has been much more than a mentor to me. She has been like a mother, a guide, and one of the strongest sources of support throughout my life.

Being part of Concern Mothers is one of my greatest achievements. Through the organisation, I have received support with my education from primary school, through high school, and now into university. As the first child to become part of this noble family, I feel proud and grateful when I look back at how far I have come.

I lost my mother when I was 11 years old. During one of the most difficult periods of my childhood, Mama Haja stood by me. She was present during my mother's burial and continued supporting me throughout my childhood. She always made me feel loved, included, and cared for.

Mama Haja welcomed me into her home during school holidays and whenever I wanted to visit. She supported me with school needs and also provided bags, shoes, school provisions, and other necessities for children within the organisation. When I started junior secondary school, she also helped my father with my school fees.

Today, as a university student, I remain deeply thankful for everything Mama Haja and Concern Mothers have done for me. Their support has played an important role in the person I have become and in my educational journey.

Thank you, Mama Haja, for believing in me, supporting me, and treating me like your own daughter. I will always appreciate the love and opportunities you have given me. ❤️"
