Lucy is a cheerful girl who hails from Turkana county in the northern part of Kenya. She lives with her grand- mother, mother, one sister and one brother in a palm thatched hut which is very small for the whole family. Her grand- mother is a widow. Her mother too is a single parent. Both of them weaves brooms to support the family. The grand-mother supplements family income by selling charcoal. The family annual income is less than US$360 which is not enough to cater for their basic needs. Her grand- mother came to the office to seek support to secure her future life. Lucy is in school and she likes reciting poems. She likes rope skipping and she is talented in dancing. She helps her grand- mother fetch water for use at home. She also sweeps their classroom when in school. When she grows up she wants to become a teacher. Your support will give this child hope for a brighter future.
