Irene's father died in 1991, when she was 5 years old, leaving her mother with five children to support. Her mother has no education and her only means of providing for her family is selling milk from their two cows. Due to lack of funds, an older brother attended school for only three years, and her older sister has no education and is married.
A donation to MGEF will help to buy shoes, a uniform, and supplies for a student, or pay school fees for a needy girl to go to school.
Sponsorship is an opportunity to be a part of one student's life for the duration of her education and beyond. If you are interested in sponsoring a student, please contact MGEF so that we can discuss which is the best student for you.
