Regina Kaunda, born in 1998, was the only child in her family. She never met her parents as her mother passed away when she was just 2 months old. Raised by her grandmother, she faced hardship after her grandmother’s death in 2013 when she was 15, with no one to support her. Despite her efforts to start businesses, they failed to succeed. In 2014, she entered a relationship where she bore a child, but the partner left her, leaving her to struggle to provide for her child. Her life became even more challenging when her subsequent marriage in 2017 ended within a year. In 2022, she found hope when she learned about Wells for Zoë and became the first to be employed by the organisation. Grateful for the opportunity, she has been working tirelessly, knowing the positive impact the organisation has had on her life.

According to Regina, she runs a business selling clothes and also manages a maize farm. Through these endeavours, she can support herself and her two children. She attributes her newfound happiness to the support provided by the organisation. Additionally, the introduction of a clinic in the community has been a source of motivation for her. It has enabled her to learn more about how to protect herself from unexpected pregnancies, especially since she is not married. She expresses deep gratitude towards the organisation and requests that their presence in the community continues for more years.

She says thank you to Wells for Zoë and is requesting for more years of working in Kadikechi.
