Mabel Apio: Age 8. Mabel has learned about responsibility at a very young age. When her parents separated in 2002, Mabel, her brother and sister went to live with their father. They had to take on the household roles their mother used to perform. Though their father was employed, it was not his priority to provide them with a good education or even basic care at home.

It was so painful to hear how her children were suffering that Mabel’s mother brought her children to live with her.

It has been difficult for Mabel’s mother—she has to work hard to provide for her children single handedly. However, when her children are happy, she is happy, and she is excited that Mabel can now attend school consistently.

Will you help Mabel get a good education?

Aisha Bithum: Age 5. Aisha is a shy and soft-spoken little girl. She lost her father in 2004 and lived with her mother until she remarried. Life for Aisha took a turn for the worst when her stepfather would not take care of her. Aisha’s mother, being unemployed, could do very little to help her daughter, so she took Aisha to live with her grandmother.

Aisha’s grandmother, who is already taking care of four grandchildren said, “With a low income it is hard to be certain of Aisha’s educational future.” It is impossible for her to help Aisha go to school and get a good education.
