Vitamins for a Future Lecturer

Kadiatu attends the Wellington Junior Secondary School in the Wellington community. She walks two miles to and from school every day.

Kadiatu lives in a very old mud house (two bedrooms) with her father, mother and siblings. There is no electricity and no running water.  The toilet facilities in the community are poor.

The family is poor. Both her mom and dad are petty traders; their total monthly income is $90 which is not enough to provide for the basic family needs. Most of the time they go without food especially when business is bad. If it wasn’t for the timely intervention of some neighbors, hunger would have ended their lives.

Kadiatu does light errands for people in her area to raise money for her lunch. When Kadiatu was sick, neighbors stepped in to assist her parents with the hospital bill.

Kadiatu wants to be a lecturer when she grows up. She uses a locally made kerosene lamp to study at night and sleeps on a mat spread on the bare floor.
