Diana is a 10 year old girl from the Magadi division of Kenya. She has 3 sisters from her mother and 5 brothers from her father’s first wife. Diana’s father does not like her mother because she has not given him any sons. He is unemployed and has no money for school fees. Neither he nor his sons believe in the value of an education, especially for girls. Diana has managed to attend school through class three by acquiring the school fees from well-wishers. MGEF took Diana on last year because she was unable to obtain school fees, and her father threatened to marry her off. She is a very bright girl who loves math and wants to be an engineer.
