Amina Stevens & Icram

Location: Kilimanjaro Region

Icram is six years old and the youngest of four children. He is being raised by his mother, Amina, who has worked hard to support her family despite limited access to education herself.

Despite facing ongoing health challenges, Icram recently completed his second year of primary school with the second highest grades out of 26 students—a remarkable achievement, especially considering the many days he has missed due to hospitalizations.

Icram’s older siblings currently attend boarding school through support from another local program. However, due to his severe respiratory condition and frequent medical needs, Icram is unable to attend boarding school and requires a more flexible and supportive learning environment.

How Dealers of Hope Has Supported

  • Covered Icram’s school tuition for the 2026 school year

  • Helped secure medical insurance coverage for 2026 through a Hope Dealers supporter

Where They Are Now

Icram continues to pursue his education with determination, balancing school and ongoing medical care. With tuition and insurance now in place, he has a stronger foundation to continue learning and growing.

What’s Next

Ongoing support helps ensure that Icram can:

  • Continue attending school despite health challenges

  • Access consistent medical care

  • Learn in an environment that supports both his education and well-being
