A Healthier Life for a Future Nurse

Mariama lives with her father, mother, three brothers and two sisters in Sierra Leone. They live in a
two bedroom house with no running water and no electricity.

Her father is a builder and the main provider of the home with monthly income of $60. Unfortunately, this is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Mariama’s mother is a housewife.

Mariama attends elementary school near her community and is currently in the 3^rd grade. She wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
At night Mariama uses a locally made kerosene lamp to study, and she sleeps on a mat on the floor.
When money is low, Mariama will sometimes go to school without eating any food.
