Glory Stephen Loningo

Glory attended Meserani Juu Primary School.

Her father died in May 2104 with a liver problem. Her father used to try and pay for his children to be educated, but her mother is struggling to survive because she is bringing eight children up on her own, and earns a living by selling jewellery in a hut at Meserani Snake Park. Glory’s favourite subject is Physics, and she would like to be a secondary school teacher one day. She was placed twelfth in her primary school examinations in 2015.

Glory started her secondary educations at Kipok Girls’ Secondary Boarding School in January 2016. She was sponsored by Neil and Judith Glover. Judith is a retired Head of Year from Gillbrook Technology College, and Neil was a Civil Engineer, but spent the past 25 years as Works Manager for a national building products manufacturer. Neil is a member of Middlesbrough Erimus Rotary Club.

Glory achieved a Division Three result in her final examinations, and was selected to study A’ Levels in History, Geography and Literature at Nawenge School, Morogoro. It was decided that Glory would benefit more from undertaking a vocational diploma, so in November 2020 she started a Diploma in Nursing course at Ilembula Institute of Health & Allied Science, Njombe. She is being sponsored through her diploma course by Neil and Judith.
