Catherine is 15 and started Grade 7 in 2024. Catherine’s favorite subject is English and loves playing netball. When Catherine grows up she wants to become a nurse!

Catherine also suffers from HIV, creating more barriers in her life.

Poverty In Zambia
Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. All students are required to pay school fees as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies, which many families cannot afford. In times of crisis, impoverished children are especially vulnerable and face several challenges. Girls who are unable to attend school have a high risk of becoming pregnant or being forced into marriage, whereas boys have a high risk of underage drinking, smoking, and becoming involved in petty crime. By sponsoring a child you are giving them access to life-changing programs and support.
