The trust's partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation supported her to rejoin school, and she now provides training to other girls and encourages them to stay in education. She received the Amal Clooney Woman's Empowerment award at the ceremony. Brandon, from Chorley, Lancashire, was given the Homesense Young Achiever Award."
