January 2023,
Serena is a 16 year old girl who comes from a family of four children. There is no work for Serena’s father and they struggle to survive. Her mother and father believe very much in educating their children. They believe education is the only way to bring their family out of poverty. They have tried to send their children to school and managed to send Serena to Form 1, but they were unable to raise the money for Form 2. Serena’s mother looked for assistance and finally heard about MGEF. They found the local board member and filled out an application. Serena was accepted and is very happy and relieved to be able to go to school without worrying about being sent home due to lack of school fees.
