RICHES: S976-SEC

Riches is now 12 years old and was promoted to the second grade this year. He continues to live with his mother and siblings, helping his family in every way he can. Although his favorite sport is soccer, Riches rarely has time to play because after school he goes home to help his family draw water from the nearby creek, which is needed for cooking and daily chores. Once the meal is prepared and the family has eaten, Riches settles in to complete his homework before going to bed, ready to do it all again the next day. Despite his busy schedule, Riches remains a dedicated and eager student. He is grateful for the opportunity to attend school through the Girl Power Africa program and works hard to make the most of every lesson. His teachers praise his focus and determination, and Riches continues to show resilience in balancing school, family responsibilities, and his dreams for the future. We are proud of Riches for his hardworking spirit and perseverance. His commitment to both his family and his education is inspiring, and we know he will continue to grow and achieve great things
