Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding her family, her mother continues to prioritize her wellbeing and education while working hard to provide for the household.Lilian faces significant learning difficulties, particularly in literacy. She currently struggles with reading and writing, and frequent interruptions to her education have further affected her academic progress. Despite these challenges, she would benefit from consistent support and targeted intervention to strengthen her foundational learning skills.Lilian lives with her mother and sister. Her mother is the sole provider and relies on a small roadside maize-roasting business to support the family. With limited and unstable income, the household struggles to meet basic needs, including food and rent, while also keeping up with educational expenses.The family's financial difficulties have resulted in frequent interruptions to Lilian's education, as unpaid school fees sometimes prevent her from attending classes. These disruptions have contributed to her academic regression and increased her vulnerability to falling further behind. Sponsorship would help secure her access to education while providing the opportunity for targeted literacy support, enabling Lilian to strengthen her foundational skills and progress academically.
