Mariama, An Artistic Student, Receives a Mosquito Net

Mariama lives with her mother, father, and brother in a single bedroom mud house with no running water and no electricity. Her father is a guard and the main provider of the home with monthly income of $70, which is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Her mother is a petty trader using her income to compliment the income of her husband.

This promising young girl goes to school and is in class one. She enjoys drawing, singing, and dancing and wants to be a seamstress when she grows up.  At night she uses a kerosene lamp to study.

Sponsorship for Mariama will help change her life for the better.  Thank you, Traci, for your generous gift to Mariama!
