Olgua is an only child, and currently lives with her single mother, having no father figure to care for her on a daily basis. No one in the household is able to read or write. Olgua's house is constructed of earthen walls, and the family uses a rudimentary cement latrine. Olgua's family is fortunate to own its home, but struggles to keep it safely maintained. Olgua's father is unemployed and desperately needs help to support his children. Her mother is a handy woman and likes to fix things around her neighbors' houses for a small income.

Overall, Olgua's household makes less than $12 USD each month. Typically, the family only manages to eat twice a day. The overall health of Olgua's home is currently stable, but depends on MAII's health clinics for regular treatment. This family lives in a world of poverty, and Olgua cannot count on her parents to have the resources to pay for school. Olgua needs an education to help lift her household out of its economic situation, and she needs your help to get that education.

Olgua is a unique child who needs assistance. She cannot help the fact that she was born into a poor situation, and she needs a leg up. Your sponsorship will give her basic human essentials and the education she needs to chase a better tomorrow.

Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to telling Olgua that you will support her in the coming year.
