Peagie Foday

Thursday's Child Peagie Foday

Pregnant at the age of fifteen, Peagie Foday nee Woobay thought that meant the end of her education. However, with strong family support and her own determination, she was not only able to cope with teenage motherhood but also went on to achieve a university degree. Her hard experience prompted her to establish the Peagie Woobay Scholarship Fund to empower teenage girls in Sierra Leone, especially those who find themselves in a similar situation.
