The story of Miriam Zihaawe for the last 10 years has been the Falco story. She is one of the very first children to be registered and supported back in 2009. At that time, we only offered sensitization meetings for parents and children plus monthly domestic support in form of soap, body jelly etc. We also assisted with some scholastic materials like books for the children whenever we could. The pictures below trace Miriams growth and transformation in this decade with us. The earliest pic is when she was 8 years, receiving gifts from our volunteer in 2009 in the presence of her mum. Miriam is now 18. At that time, she was struggling to stay in school, lacking basic school and personal necessities and having to walk home from school for an uncertain lunch every day.
However, through the sponsorship program, she was able to go to a better school, with lunch and other school requirements provided. She has now completed a hair dressing course and is working and contributing to her family's income.
Many thanks to her sponsor who has made all this possible!
