January 2023,
Naomi is a 14 year old girl, who is an orphan. Her father passed away when she was young and her mother recently passed away, leaving Naomi and her two siblings with her grandmother. Her grandmother is elderly and has no income. She lives off of well wishers. Naomi’s uncles and aunts are all illiterate and have no employment. Her grandmother has tried to send Naomi to school, but she is no longer able to pay the school fees. Naomi does very well in school and is very keen on learning. Her grandmother contacted the local MGEF board member, who filled out an application with Naomi. Naomi was accepted to the MGEF Scholarship program and is very excited to be able to continue her education.
