Sharifa lives in a small village near the Nile River.  Her mother passed away a few years ago after apparently being cursed through witchcraft. Sharifa now stays with her father and step mother, who are both peasants (they dig for food but do not have jobs).  Sharifa is mistreated by her stepmother and often does not go to school.

Your support will give Sharifa the opportunity to get the quality education and health care that she deserves. Thank you for your prayers, commitment, and support.
