STORYMariama's story

Mariama is growing up in a family that has experienced the loss of a parent and now faces ongoing financial challenges. The mother has been renting with her two children since the death of her husband. She is a petty trader who sells tie-dye and batik materials to sustain her family. She has not remarried and has no other supporter u2014 she is entirely responsible for her children’s upbringing on her own, which leaves her deeply worried about their education and future. Sponsorship can help provide stability and contribute towards the child’s education, wellbeing and everyday needs, while supporting the family in a respectful and dignified way.
