Salim (seen with Aziza)
Salim is a 14-year old whose mother has died and who doesn't know who his father is. With such difficult circumstances, the Village Chairman took him into his home and is providing him with all the support he can afford. We've been asked to help in any way we can as Salim is responsible for all his brothers and sisters. He attends secondary school although has a 4 to 5 km walk to get there each day at the moment. Salim is at a perfect age to move to a private boarding school which would require a $100 a month sponsorship for this deserving young man.

Kelvin
Kelvin is a 14-year old who is just recently orphaned. He has been identified by the headmistress of Msongola Primary School as a very deserving recipient of our help. He's a bright student who should be able to stay in school as long as possible. His situation, along with that of Hussan, has been identified as an emergency and our wonderful volunteer, Aziza, made a trip specially to deliver school supplies and assess his situation. Kelvin, like Salim, would benefit tremendously if he were able to transfer to a private boarding school at this stage of his education.

Munira
Munira is a 13-year old girl who lives with her parents. Unfortunately her father is unable to work so it's her mum who is the family breadwinner. Munira attends government secondary school and will complete Form One before heading into Form Two in January 2023. Her $40 monthly fee would cover her school supplies and food. A generous sponsor could make all the difference to this deserving young person.
