Saffiatou Barrow
STORYSaffiatou's story
Saffiatou is growing up in a family that has experienced the loss of a parent and now faces ongoing financial challenges. The family is facing financial hardship and relies on limited resources to meet daily needs. After the death of the husband, his wives and four children were left to fend for themselves financially. The family’s primary source of income comes from their farmland, where they grow crops to sell in the market. This means their livelihood depends on the success of their harvest, which can be unpredictable due to natural disasters or pests. The income generated from the sale of their crops is barely enough to cover their basic needs, such as food, clothing, and school materials for the children. 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.
