Background

Comfort comes from a family of 6 children and was abandoned by her father together with her siblings when she was still a baby. Her father stays in Katanga slum and works in the city council authority as a garbage collector but he refused to support his children in any way financially.

Ever since Comfort was young, she has been under the care of her struggling mother together with her siblings. Her mother is unemployed and can not be able to take care of her children and also pay for their school fees. Due to lack of income, her mother now stays with one of her relatives because she can not afford a house to stay in with her children.

Comfort stays with her brother in a single room in Katanga Slum, her brother is a footballer at a local village club and only paid some little money occasionally when he gets a contract. Sometimes his brother engages in doing casual jobs in the slum like loading or offloading firewood to be able to support his sisters.

It is on very few occasions that Comfort is supported by her mother when she gets some casual work to do. Comfort is on and off school and not at school now because of lack of school fees.

Comfort is looking for a sponsor to support her attain a good and stable education so that she attains her dream of becoming a professional nurse.
