Donatha – An education finally within reach with UpLearn
Donatha’s dream is to give back to her community. To do this, she wants to hold specific qualifications – qualifications that were cut short by a long migration across Africa to Cape Town.

She dreams of using her HealthCare Management degree to help give back to the community in any way that she can.
