Raisa's Story During Sponsorship Application:

Raisa is the second of three siblings. Her elder brother is in grade 8. Her parents are already struggling to maintain his expenses. Now that Raisa is also getting in higher grades her expenses are also increasing. It is getting more difficult for her parents to pay for their educational expenses. Raisa's father has a small business but it's not running well. So, her mother works as a maid, leaving her younger sister at home, to maintain the family. With their meager income, Raisa's parents are severely struggling to keep both Raisa and her brother in school. A sponsorship would help ease their struggles and keep Raisa in school.
