My name is Nancy. I am 11 years old and in primary 5. I live with my parents, and we face the challenges of abject poverty every day. They worked hard to raise me, but their struggles often made it difficult for us to meet our basic needs. Education is my dream, and I want to complete my primary education. With your sponsorship, I can turn that dream into reality.

My education sponsorship costs only £25 a month, which amounts to £300 annually. To finish my primary education, the total is £900. This support is crucial for my future and helps me work towards my aspiration of reaching a university one day to escape this cycle of poverty.

Our family's situation extends beyond my education. We need assistance with basic essentials. A family food parcel costs £90 monthly, which would alleviate some of our hunger. Having a bed, bedding, and mosquito nets requires £675, which would provide us with a safe place to sleep. The need for a complete house to provide us shelter is estimated at £17,859. Additionally, a safer toilet costs £3,475, and clean drinking water installation is £2,945.

As a girl growing up in Tanzania, I find it hard to express how much I need your help. Since I joined the programme, I have seen improvements in my health and academic performance. Receiving a hot meal at school has made a tremendous difference, as my family struggles to afford one meal a day. However, I still sleep on the floor, lacking basic bedding necessities.

By becoming my school sponsor, you will provide me with 12 months of education, two hot meals a day, a new school uniform, shoes, and the resources I need to continue excelling. Your support can change my life. Thank you for considering helping me achieve my dreams.
