Alexia, the youngest of four sisters, faces numerous challenges due to her father's recent imprisonment. He has been imprisoned for political reasons and is serving an undisclosed sentence. This has resulted in considerable hardship for the family, marked by a lack of essential provisions. Alexia's mother, a housewife, strives to make ends meet by engaging in various odd jobs, such as gardening for others and selling fried cassava in the local trading center. However, the income generated is often insufficient to cover the family's basic needs.
The family's financial struggles directly impact Alexia's education. The irregular attendance is a consequence of frequent requests to collect school fee balances. During such periods, Alexia may remain at home until her mother can earn enough money to clear the outstanding fees. Despite these challenges, Alexia harbors a dream of becoming a doctor, reflecting her aspirations for a brighter future through education. The family is in need of support to ensure steady schooling for Alexia, allowing her the opportunity to pursue her dreams.
