Biography

Precious is a joyful young girl currently in PP1 at a local Primary School. She lives with her mother, grandmother, a sibling, and five cousins whose parents abandoned them. Since the godmother is aging, her mother is left with the responsibility of feeding the entire family and ensuring that they get an education. Having not been married and being unemployed, what she can do is odd jobs to feed and educate Precious, her sibling, and her cousins. We believe, as the name suggests, this child is precious, and if she gets support, she will be able to grow and become what God created her to be. Please continue to pray for her.
