Background

Mary and Joan were abandoned by their father when their mother was 2 months pregnant of them.

Their father feared responsibility because he was still a student at the university at that time. From the time when he got to know of the mother’s pregnancy until today, he has never returned to check on his children nor support them in any way. The children have never seen their father and the mother does not know where he stays.

Joan and Mary were born premature and it was very difficult for their mother to take care of them until today. When they were just born, she could receive help from well-wishers in the slum because she was unemployed and had no money to take care of herself and the twins.

Right now their mother is hired to hawk apples on the streets outside the slum and earns about 2 USD a day as profit which can not take care of the basics of the children and also save for their school fees.

Mary and Joan are looking for a sponsor or sponsors to help them attain a good and stable education so that they can have a bright future and a better life.
