When Miriam was 13 years old, her father arranged a marriage for her, a marriage she did not want. She ran away to a local area chief, who contacted MGEF. The chief intervened and stopped the marriage, and MGEF offered Miriam a scholarship. She will graduate from secondary school in November 2010.
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.
