Pleased to introduce to you Vivian who lives with her single mother and siblings. She is a middle child and the first daughter in her family. They live in a single room mud walled house with packed dirt floors demanding constant repair. Her mother is a small scale farmer who grows for food. For an income to the family, she offers casual labour on farms for a wage. She earns averagely 10 dollars a month to cater for the family needs but due to the meagre incomes, Vivian walks bare footed to her public school. She is psychologically affected, and cries whenever bullied. Vivian and her siblings often miss school and must keep her siblings while mother goes for work. She must sleep on a bare ground with old papyrus carpeting and scarred due to constant itching from small crawling insect bites each night. Due to the small cultivation area, yields only accommodate a single meal a day. Vivian is generally of good health, supports her family in fetching water and enjoys playing dodge ball. With hopes for a better future, your support for her is an answered prayer.
