Biography
Sheila is a friendly and joyful young woman. She is currently in grade 9 at the local Primary school. She stays with her siblings and her grandmother at home since her grandfather recently died and her parents are casual laborers who travel to look for work. Sheila's grandmother has really struggled to keep food on the table much less provide school fees and other requirements for her grandchildren. Sheila is a well mannered and disciplined young girl and we believe with the support of a friend, she will make it through this difficult time and become a woman of God in her family and her community. Would you be the one to walk with her?
