Suzan
My name is Suzan, and I am now 14 years old, having graduated from primary education. I continue to dream of becoming a teacher and an education leader. Thanks to sponsorship while attending The Roof of Africa Pre and Primary School, I was able to finish my studies. I am now seeking sponsorship for secondary school.
The cost for one month of sponsorship is £59, while the yearly amount is £708. Over the course of 4 years, my entire lower secondary education will total £2,832.
This sponsorship means significantly more than just financial support. In Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Tanzania, education can transform the life of a girl like me. It provides opportunities for personal growth, empowerment, and the ability to break free from poverty.
With this support, I can avoid early marriage and the associated risks of becoming trapped in a cycle of poverty. Education allows me to gain knowledge and skills that can lead to better job prospects in the future. It also enables me to serve as a role model within my community, inspiring other young girls to pursue their education.
Access to secondary education will fulfil my aspirations and contribute to the larger goal of uplifting my society. It represents hope, resilience, and the possibility of a brighter future for girls in every corner of Tanzania.
Suzan's situation is a poignant reminder of the resilience found within families in difficult circumstances. Her mother, paralyzed for years, requires constant care, while her grandfather battles cancer—a situation that imposes a heavy financial burden on the family. With Suzan's father missing and her grandmother earning barely enough from her farming to support them all, the family's future is uncertain.
Your support can make a transformative impact. A monthly sponsorship of £58 would not only cover the essential medical costs but also provide a food parcel each month, beds, and mosquito nets to ensure their basic needs are met. Additionally, Susan's family desperately needs a safe and secure home; the entire cost to build this sanctuary is £17,879.
This challenge is not just about funds; it's about giving Suzan and her family hope for a stable, healthier life. Together, we can change their reality. Will you rise to this challenge and help provide Suzan with the secure home she needs?
