“Having lost her father at the age of five, Amina faced abandonment from schooling until a dedicated monthly sponsor gave her the wings to learn.”
Amina was just five years old when she lost her father to an illness that could have been cured with early diagnosis. Her widowed mother struggled relentlessly, washing laundry for neighboring houses to earn enough for a single daily bowl of rice. School was an impossible luxury.
In 2024, an international donor sponsored Amina through REHMAT GLOBAL's Orphan Support Program. The sponsorship provided her with school fees, a tailored uniform, textbooks, a backpack, and nutritional food support for her household.
One year later, Amina's report card arrived with straight 'A' marks, placing her first among 48 students in her class. "I want to become a doctor so no other child loses a parent because they could not afford medicine," Amina says with a proud, beaming smile.
