A Girl Child, Edith

3rd April 2016:

This is one of our 85 girls
She is 15 year old Edith Msiska who attends Katoto Secondary School.
She is an excellent student and certainly does her best.
She lives with her mother and 4 brothers while her father is dead for many years.
In her Christmas exams she came seventh in her class with an average 
score of 67%, doing best in English with a score of 81%.
If our donors were not so generous this girl would be destined to remain uneducated and may well have been married off to an older man for the dowry.
She lives in Nkhorongo which is about one and a half hours walk from her school.
