Valisatu feels more confident about the future

Valisatu is twelve years old. She is the first born of her mother’s four children.
Her mother, Isatu, is a petty trader that sells rice and is a single parent as well as the sole provider of the home. Isatu’s monthly income of $40, does not cover the basic needs of the home. Life had not been so bad with Isatu’s husband Sam helping support the family. However, Sam sadly died three months ago and Isatu is now the main provider for the family.

When Valisatu began her new school she did not have a uniform because her mother was unable to provide her one. Her friend came to her rescue by offering her a used uniform. Valisatu is a pupil of the Sierra Leone International Mission Secondary School.
Her favorite subject is Mathematics and she aspires to be a doctor when she grows.

Thank you so much Mike and Suzanne for the provision of a pair of uniforms and a pair of shoes. Valisatu now goes to school neatly dressed and feels a lot more confident about her future. Thank you both for your support!
