Bebsta Yeboah
$100 of $100 donated
ASANTE REGION, Ghana
Bebsta is 14 years old and lives with her six siblings and her mother. Her father died when she was very young. Bebsta’s mother is severely unwell and has undergone numerous surgeries. Because of her physical condition she is unable to work to support her children. Bebsta and her brothers and sisters are looked after by their grandmother. However, their grandmother is very old and can only do very little work for little pay. Subsequently, Bebsta often goes to school hungry and cannot afford to purchase necessary school supplies such as pencils and paper. Her teachers have commented that she falls behind because she lacks these necessary items. Nonetheless, Bebsta is passionate about her education. She hopes for a scholarship so that she may continue her schooling, receive sufficient supplies, as well as money for school lunch so that one day she can graduate high school and become a banker.
