Overview
I am a 19-year-old obstetric fistula survivor. I am a single mother of a 2-year-old boy. My mother passed away, and I am treated poorly by the rest of my family. I have returned to boarding school. I'm close to graduating, but I'm struggling to pay for my school fees, books, uniforms and personal needs.
My goals are to complete my education. I hope one day to become a nurse and be able to better care for my son and be able to provide for him and give him an education.
I need money to pay for my school fees, books, uniform and personal needs.
Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to continue with my education and achieve my goals and dreams.

Funding this need will allow her to continue in school and achieve her dreams.
