Faith is an orphan who was living with her Aunt but was later branded as a witch. She had to relocate to a shelter for witchcraft-stigmatized children. In her school and community, she has become a leader in campaigns against early/unplanned pregnancy, as well as bullying and child abuse campaigns. She raises her voice against witchcraft superstitions in society which are leading to the abandonment of over 20 thousand children.
