January 2023,
Stephanie is a 15 year old girl, who comes from a family of seven children. Her mother, Mary, is a single mother. There is no talk of her father. Mary is the sole bread winner for not only her children, but for her parents also. Mary feels an education is very important and has managed to send her children to primary school. Unfortunately, COVID made her struggles even harder and she can not afford the school fees for Stephanie to go to secondary school. Determined to get Stephanie in school, Mary took Stephanie to the local MGEF board member, who helped them fill out an application. Stephanie was accepted and is happy to be able to continue her education. She dreams of the day she will be able to help her family.
