Muzafalu’s father tragically passed away after suffering from severe headaches for about two months. His mother was left to provide for the four children despite being untrained in professional skills.

Muzafalu’s mother has a sad, though typical story of her own: after the death of her parents, she had to drop out of school at Primary 4 because she could not afford the tuition fees. She eventually married at 16 because she didn’t want to support herself any longer, but now that her husband is dead she finds herself in the same position as before, but with four children to feed! She digs in other people’s gardens to try to earn enough to support her children’s basic needs, but she cannot afford to send them to school.

Sponsorship will enable Muzafalu to break the cycle of poverty he was born into, getting a good education and the chance of a better life. He hopes to become a doctor if he is able to finish school. His three sisters Damima, Rehemeh, and Hasifah are also available for sponsorship through CARITAS.
