A few of the kids stories –
Michael – Michael is in year 8 at Future Leaders school. He has 2 siblings, his youngest sibling, now 7 years old, was born with a severe disability leaving his mum having to become a full time carer. Their father was made redundant from his job and whilst he is trying hard to find a new one, most of his income went on caring for their youngest son. Michael would often miss school due to lack of money or to help at home. By supporting Michael you will be relieving the financial burden on his parents and giving Michael the chance to focus on his education and be in school every day.
Ling – Ling is 6 years old and has been at Future Leaders since the age of 3. He is in KG2 and his favourite subject is reading. His mum is a single parent with 3 children. She sells Yam to make a living but with a baby and 2 other children she struggles to make enough money to make sure Ling can stay in school. Ling is exceptionally good in school and we want to give him every opportunity for him to follow his dreams. Your support will make this happen.
Rahel and Raphael – Rahel and Raphael are twins, aged 4. They are both in Nursery at Future Leaders and have been attending the school since the age of 2. They have 3 older siblings (2 of them also attend Future Leaders school) and live with both their parents. Their mum sells vegetables and their dad is a bus driver. Their dad’s bus has broken down and whilst he is doing his best to fix it he is not earning an income so the family are relying on their mum’s income day to day. The twins love to play football and do colouring at school. Their favourite food is Banku with Okro Soup. Supporting Rahel and Raphael will give them the best chance to continue to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment.
Mekadeskey – Mekadeskey is 8 years old and in KG1. Her parents moved to Accra in hope of better work and a better lifestyle. Because of this, Mekadeskey didn’t start school until the age of 6 so is older than some of the other children in her class. Her mum sells groceries and her Dad is unemployed but does manual labour work around the community when he can find someone who needs it. Without a regular income her parents struggle to care for their 3 children. Keeping Mekadeskey in school will give her her childhood back and will make sure she doesn’t go hungry again.
