Shirley is a young girl living in a community located in the southeastern part of Mozambique, in southern Africa. The region is characterized by a hot and humid weather almost all year round. She lives only with her mother because the parents are separated. Shirley and her family live in a self-built house with reed walls, a thatched roof and dirt floor. The community where she lives is a pinched slum whose subsistence base is subsistence farming. They do not have access to running water and electricity in the house. It happens that her mother is an unemployed woman who just do subsistence farming in order to get by. This girl and her family have lack of money and face many problems to get food. In short, the living circumstance of her family is one of dire poverty. The parents of Shirley have enrolled her in this ChildFund program so that she can benefit from activities in the areas of health, education, nutrition and recreation. We are hopeful that your sponsorship will enable this child to have an adequate access to basic essentials and have a good future.
