When we went for our visit, we noticed a little girl in torn clothes playing outside. That was Arifa.  We learned about their dire situation after speaking with her mother. Arifa's father died of cancer when she was just a year and a half old. They have been living with her grandmother and a cousin Arifa's age since then. Arifa's mother is a garment worker. She supports their family of four on the meager wages she receives from the factory. It is extremely difficult for her to pay all of the bills and provide for both of the children's basic needs. Their ripped clothes serve as a sad reminder of their predicament. Arifa is now enrolled in school. She does not have to pay school fees, but the additional costs for her exercise books, guidebooks, or a tutor to assist her with her studies are simply too much for them. A sponsorship would significantly assist them in providing a better life for Arifa.
