Silvia's father has four wives and abandoned Silvia's mother. Silvia ran away from home at the age of 11 to avoid being married off. She stayed with an uncle, who supported her, but could not afford to pay for her education, nor prevent her eventual marriage once she reached puberty.
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.
