Mariam
Mariam has a two-year-old baby named Genesis. Her father has two wives, her mother left the home and the second wife was mean and fought with Mariam so the father kicked Mariam out. She had finished primary school, about 6th grade but her father said he had no money for her to continue on to Secondary school. She was desperate and had nowhere to go so she moved in with her boyfriend who was living in a house with 5 other men. When she became pregnant, he said there were too many men there and he did not think the baby was his so he asked her to leave. One of her classmates said she could live with her until the baby was born.
Some of her classmates found out about her situation and went together to contribute some money to help their friend. Mariam got a job cleaning a local clinic once a week but it was not enough to support her and baby Genesis.
One of her classmates knew about Neema Village and told her to come to Neema for help.
Mariam and baby Geneis are now safe at Neema Village, taking classes and hoping someday to have a better life.
