Prossy is the third born in a family of three boys and two girls.  Her father died in 2013, and the children live with their mom and paternal grandparents. Their home is a grass thatched mud and bamboo hut. They use papyrus leaves laid on a dirt floor as their beds. The family grow their own food for their survival.  In a good season, they are able to sell a portion of the harvest for other needs such as laundry soap, salt, and kerosene, and school tuition. Prossy is unable to attend school on a regular basis because her mom can’t always pay tuition.  When tuition is paid Prossy and her siblings walk about 5 miles to school.  With your support, Prossy will be able to achieve regular school attendance, reaching her goal of teacher.
