Naume’s mother has struggled to take care of the family since the father abandoned them twelve years ago. The older children in the family all live far away and do not make any contributions to care for their younger siblings. The youngest five children, including Naume, live with their mother in a very vulnerable state.
Two years ago, Naume’s mother was diagnosed with a heart condition, which has left the family in an even weaker position than it was before. It has made accessing enough food difficult, and school fees have been out of the question. For two years in a row, Naume did not have the funds to complete her primary education. The administrators at school had taken notice of how intelligent she was and, at the end of the second year, allowed her to participate in the leaving exams. Ultimately, these year-end test results showed her to be among the very top performers of her class.
Because of her diligence and academic excellence, our school superintendent has nominated Naume to be one of the students who receives a scholarship that will cover her secondary education. Your support will make it possible for this bright girl to walk into a bright future, and it will shine the love of Jesus on a family of great need of His light.
Naume needs an education or boarding sponsor for $35/month or both for $70/month.
