Mary, 22, is an engineer in Kampala, Uganda. She has lent her skills to the ‘Smart Bags for Girls’ project which aims to remove barriers that prevent girls from going to school. Mary’s initiative was to add a solar panel to the school bags, which powers a torch, so girls can do their homework when there’s no electricity. “I want to become a great engineer who can help other girls like me to turn dreams into a reality and create positive change in people’s lives," says Mary.
