Adama: A Seamstress in the Making

Adama lives with her mother, father, two sisters, and two brothers in a two bedroom block house with no running water, poor toilet facilities, but with electricity.

Adama has known poverty for a long time now. She belongs to a polygamous family and is denied the  love and care a child should take for granted. Her mother is a petty trader who earns $80 a month which barely covers the family’s needs.
Adama attends the Ahmadiyya Muslim Primary School in the Wellington Community. She wants to be a seamtress when she grows up. Adama sometimes assists her mother in selling assorted items in the market. Adama likes movies, especially village films.
Thank you, Renuka. Your gift of a mosquito net will ensure that when Adama sleeps at night, she is protected from mosquito bites.
