Mohamed
Mohamed has been waiting 621 days for a sponsor.
Mohamed lives in the village of Kamawornie in the northern part of the country with his parents, siblings, and extended family. Kamawornie, like many of the villages in Sierra Leone, is very remote, lacking access to electricity, potable water, and good healthcare.
The stressful environment that Mohamed lives in has not stopped him from working towards his goals. His drive is very admirable, but he needs support to accomplish his dream. Both parents farm locally, growing vegetables and rice and raising cattle, however, their income barely meets the family's needs.
Mohamed attends the local primary school and is in class 6 Without electricity, he finds it very challenging to study at night but still manages to do well in school where Social Studies is his favorite subject. Mohamed dreams of becoming a lawyer.
