sponsor a child

Ka wula (hello), my name is Mariam

  • location

    Ghana

  • 17 yrs. old

    12-19-2006

Entered the program: March 2023

Mariam lives with her parents and three siblings in a three-bedroom mud house roofed with thatch; they have no latrine. The village has access to electricity for purchase but it often runs out before they can buy more. They have no access to potable water. Water is fetched from a local dam until it dries up, then the village women and girls must travel long distances to find other sources. This interferes with work and school attendance.

Mariam comes from a Muslim family but she and her younger sister, Rahamatu (also in the program), have accepted Christ. Mariam’s father is a farmer but barely harvests enough food to last throughout the year; her mother tries to sells rice to help provide. They sometimes eat only once a day. With help from Create Hope, Mariam and her sister can attend school regularly.
