Mariam is 12 years old and her father is dead. Her mother lives in El Minja in a very poor area and she is not capable of taking care of her daughter. Mariam suffers from severe nightmares which may arise from her experiences as a child. We have very limited knowledge of what happened to Mariam before she was taken in by the orphanage. Creating securityWe do our utmost to make Mariam feel secure with us, but this has to and will take the time it takes. Mariam is a wonderful nice girl who we wish all the best. |
Harkim is 8 years old. As a child, Harkim had meningitis and was very sick. This illness still affects Harkim and he needs a lot of support. He comes from a very poor family where the father collects waste and sells any that can be reused. There is great shame at not being able to take care of their children. Poverty pushes parents to make merciless decisions. Schooling with added supportHarkim receives all the help he needs to succeed in school and we hope that this support opens the way to a good life. |
