In 2019, she began her trail as an ALG Scholarship holder. The shy and childish look of the first years gave way to an attentive, curious, and confident look. One year later, Miliona decided to “give back” to our children. She became part of the local team and started contributing to the development of several children. As Miliona was influenced throughout her childhood, which changed her life, now she also wants to make a difference in the life of other children.

This year Miliona graduated in Pharmacy, she had 18 in her final exam, and concluded her degree with an amazing 16!

As if it wasn’t enough, Miliona has been part of ALG’s local team for 2 years now, supporting S. Vicente de Paulo School – SVP’s School Feeding is about to begin the Winners Program, as a Mentor of the 7^th grade children.

Miliona is an example for many girls. She is a young driven and extremely committed girl who graduated in Pharmacy this year, Her dream is to have her own pharmacy and to be able to support her community in Chokwé.
