Alice Sankoh

Country: Sierra Leone

My birthday is 2012-01-04

Status: Vulnerable Child

I want to be a nurse.

I enjoy playing balance ball (dodge ball).

My favorite subject is math.

Alice lives with her mother and father. Her father is attending trade school, learning to be a builder so he can provide a better life for his family. Because he is a full-time student, the burden to provide for their family falls on Alice's mother. Her mother works as a small business trader, and the income is not enough to provide basic needs and schooling for their 3 children. Alice is able to attend school until the next school fees are due, and she is asked to sit out until her parents can pay the balance. This causes lapses in her education while her mother works to raise the fees, and she can return to school. Alice is in Class 1. She hopes to become a nurse in the future, and her favorite subject is math. Thanks to her sponsorship, she has been able to continue her education.
