Fiette attends a private school which specializes in the sciences.
She seems to be happy with the possibility of going to vocational school. In reviewing much of her file, you can see she is a young woman who really cares about people. This could be from the fact that her mom is a social worker. In some responses to questions, you see she cares about how her classmates are treated, as well as her fear of gossiping.
Fiette has both parents. Her mother works with the local leadership for social work and her father is a solider. They have lived in the village of Akindege since 2012. She has two younger siblings: Ngabo who is also sponsored by Global Capacity in Secondary 3 and Ange who is in Primary 4 (sponsored by A Voice for Rwanda).
