Hi! My name is Fatimata. I go to second year at Tokombéré public school. Uncle Mbiadi says that school is useless; it's not for women, and that and that I should stay at home and learn to be a wife. But one day I'm going to be an engineer!
This emotionally-charged story about little Fatimata in her Sahelian village is a powerful tool for encouraging young girls to take an interest in science and technology in an unfavourable environment.
