From a polygamous family, both parents are jobless and unable to cater for her education. She is from the elder wife and now her father’s concentration has shifted to the second wife.

“She was called to join one of the schools in her area but could not join due to lack of school fees. With the help of the neighbors, she joined a local school but could not attend every day as she was sent home from time to time. Even in such schooling condition, her performance every term has been good. She scored 770/1100 and was position 14/123 in first term, second term she scored 687 and was position 13/125. In third term, she scored 682 and came in position 10/108”
