At 15, Jediva was kidnapped from South Sudan where she was living with her mother and taken by her captor to Kenya as his '19 year-old Sudanese wife’. Too terrified to eat or speak, Jediva lived as a slave for her captor and his sister, under the daily threat of being killed if she told anyone who she really was.

When Jediva sold her food rations to buy books to learn, her captor beat her, saying he would let her ‘die here as a dog’.

Jediva managed to get out of the house and found a girl who helped her to the police station. A dental investigation revealed she was still only 15 - not the 19 year-old wife that her captor insisted she was. Jediva was taken to a safe haven and now attends the Angelina Jolie School, where she has used tablets, Google and the Internet for the first time. The first thing she did when she held a tablet was to look up a YouTube video of an active volcano, which Jediva says was amazing.

A keen student who loves learning, she studies science and English in lessons and online every day in the hope that she will one day be a lawyer. Jediva says she wants to help other people with experiences like hers.
