Maria belongs to a family who struggles to make ends meet. She is a joyful, friendly and caring girl who studies hard at school as she would like to become a doctor. She attends primary school and enjoys her Spanish classes. She lives with her family in a place made of bricks and corrugate iron sheets on the roof. They do not own their house. Her father earns a living as a bricklayer, while her mother is a farmer. The family does not have enough money to cover all the family expenses. Besides, they do not have medical insurance. Her family hardly makes US $ 143.00 per month, which may vary according to the season. In the remote communities of Bolivia, children can find it hard to get healthcare, sanitation, a good education or even healthy food. Malnutrition and domestic violence are common, too. If you decide to become a ChildFund sponsor, your sponsorship will ensure that your child is educated, aware of her rights and well-nourished.
