Netball superstar from a Ugandan village

Peace Proscovia has taken the netball world by storm. She was the top goal scorer in the Vitality Superleague last season, she is now in her fourth season at Loughborough Lightning and she captained Uganda to their first ever Commonwealth Games qualification.

But it wasn't an easy journey. Peace grew up in a small village in Uganda, where her parents couldn't afford to pay for her education and she was expected to be married from the age of 16.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Betty Glover went to meet Peace to find out how she went from the Arua District, to the world stage.
