Nancy
enrolled.
"The biggest hardships that I currently face is lack of enough money to pay school fees for my children. If I am unable to pay school fees for my children they may have to drop out of school.
We also lack a source of clean water and have to travel long distances to fetch water. Whenever we fail to get clean water my children have to drink unclean water which exposes them to diseases."
