Meryl A. 1433

Grade Female: 9th - 12th Gr.

School Grade 9

Meryl was born in 2007 in Nyawalongo village in Mfangano West location. She is the oldest child in a family of four children. Her mother passed away leaving Meryl and her siblings under the care of their father, who struggles with alcoholism and does not take very good care of the children. The father would not allow other relatives to take over the care of the children. Meryl was often forced to complete all of the household chores. She has missed a lot of school and suffered a lot at such a young age.  Her aunt has recently stepped in to help Meryl and her siblings.

When the father could afford and allowed Meryl to attend school, Meryl was learning at Mawanga Primary School in grade 6 before joining GGCC. Her sister Rose, and brother Boniface, are both learning at Mawanga Primary School in grades 4 and 1. The youngest, Sheryl, is not yet old enough to attend school.

Meryl was admitted to GGCC in January of 2020 in grade 5 as an orphaned and vulnerable child. She is so happy to be in GGCC. She will learn in safety and be able to concentrate on her studies. She will not be sent home for lack of payment and she will get three meals a day. This will help her to work towards her dreams, including becoming a pilot. On holidays, she will return to her Aunt’s home, where she is safe.  During leisure time, Meryl likes athletics.
