Regina's father does not believe in educating girls, and planned to marry her off in 2010, when she was only 12 years old. Regina desperately wanted to go to school, and ran away several times, only to be brought back home under threat that both she and her mother would be sent away forever. However, with the help of an aunt and an MGEF board member, her wish finally came true. At age 12, she enrolled in school for the first time.
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.
