Overview
Biography
Margaret is a friendly, jovial, and hardworking young girl currently in grade 3 at a local Primary School. She lives with her mother and two siblings in a rented house, following her parents' separation some time ago. Due to her lack of education, their mother relies on casual jobs such as farming for income, which often depend on the weather—specifically rain that can be unpredictable due to recurring droughts. This makes it challenging for them to secure daily food and school fees. As a result, Margaret and her siblings are out of school many times due to unpaid dues. With your generous support, Margaret can overcome these challenges and strive for a brighter future for herself and those who come after her. Would you be willing to stand by her side?
