Background

Fellisha comes from a family of 7 children and she is the eldest child.

Both her parents are alive but her father has another family and he is rarely home with Fellisha’s family.

Fellisha used to stay in Katanga slum with her grandmother but when her sponsorship ended, she moved to stay in the village away from the city because her grandmother could not afford the schools in the city.

Her father is a farmer and earns a small income to sustain Fellisha in school together with her siblings.

She now goes to a very poor school and misses school frequently because of lack of school fees. Fellisha has not been with a sponsor for 3 years and attaining an education has been very hard for her.

Fellisha is looking for another opportunity to be sponsored so that she can be able to attain a good and stable education.
