Mariama is now prepared for school

Mariama lives in the Wellington community of Freetown, Sierra Leone with her parents and two sisters. They live in a single bedroom apartment with no running water but with electricity.

Her father is a worker who earns $80 monthly. This is not enough to cover the basic family needs. Her mother is a teacher who helps her husband in taking care of the home with the income she earns monthly.

Mariama attends the Wellington Orphanage Primary School and she is in class two. She wants to be a banker when she grows up.

Thank you, Mike and Suzanne, for providing a uniform and a pair of shoes for Mariama!
