September 2010
Grace’s father died in 2007, leaving behind four wives, 28 children, and a pile of medical bills. Grace’s family now lives in extreme poverty and can barely afford to pay for food, let alone school fees. Grace was at risk of being married off for a dowry to help support her family. MGEF began supporting Grace in 2010, which will enable her to receive an education and keep her safe from an early marriage.
