Thanks to the generous donation from Meicher Family Charitable Foundation, Angeline has been re-enrolled into school for the 2021/2022 school year. She still wants to be a doctor when she grows up. With less than 500 doctors serving a population of 4.5 million people, Liberian households often experience fatalities due to treatable illnesses.
