Keresi Leba from Mavana

Keresi Leba from Mavana, Vanuabalavu says 2016 was the hardest year of her life when her parents got separated and she had to sit for her Fiji Junior Certificate Examination.

Keresi Leba who was amongst the 16 women who graduated after the 8 weeks Tailoring Course from Makoi Vocational Women's Training Centre, says she has completed her secondary level but could not get to tertiary education due to financial issues faced by her mother.

Leba says due to her mum's budget, she felt that there will be no allocation to fund her future education.
