Meet Naomi, a courageous single mother and the sole breadwinner for her six children. Life was secure for her and her family until 2018, when tragedy struck; Naomi’s husband, the family’s provider, passed away after a short illness. Naomi had no choice but to step into his shoes. With no formal employment in low agricultural output due to unpredictable and unreliable rainfall, for her the future became uncertain. Determined to care for her children, Naomi turned to casual labor to substitute for whatever little she got from farming. But with the soaring cost of living, she found herself overwhelmed.
Naomi’s peace was short-lived in her husband’s home. Just a year after his death, she was forcefully evicted by members of the extended family from the small piece of land she had inherited, rendering her and her children homeless. However, she sought refuge in her maternal home, where her biological father, assisted by other well-wishers, built a modest shelter for her and gave her a piece of land to farm. Despite all this, economic hardship looms large. Some days, Naomi’s family survives on just one meal, and on others, without even a single meal. However, through it all, Naomi’s spirit remains unshaken. She volunteers at the local school to keep her children from being sent home for unpaid fees. Her dream is simple but profound: to see her children get an education and break the cycle of poverty.
This family urgently needs sponsorship, particularly for school fees, uniforms, and daily necessities. These six bright young lives are waiting and hoping for a helping hand to achieve their dreams and change the story of their lives and the family at large:
