Salma Asman: A Story of strength and second chances

Salma, 18, was forced into early marriage, disrupting her schooling. Living in Kiambiu with her mother and three siblings after a family separation, she faced abandonment, trauma, and instability.

With Tushinde’s intervention, foster support and psychosocial care, Salma returned to school, rebuilt family connections, and began healing. Despite emotional hurdles, she worked hard and emerged with a B- grade in her Form Four exams. Today, she lives with her father and dreams of becoming a Social Worker, helping others walk paths of resilience like hers.

“Tushinde helped me believe that my past doesn’t define my future.”
