Q

Summarise Anne’s story of being sponsored.

A

She is 13 years old now and lives with her parents and eight siblings. She goes to school. But, her start in life was not so positive.

Parents worked long hours and so children were vulnerable to attack, forced into child labour, or married off.

Through child sponsorship, Anne learnt about her rights and her parents were taught to feed their children and educate them.

A Child Protection Committee was set up in her community. Anne and her friends report problems to this agency.

Today, child abuse, child labour, and child marriage are no longer the common problems they once were in Anne’s village.
