Filipe is 15 years old. When his parents died
he was welcomed by his uncle who made a great decision: he went to the Escolinha do André, a
subsidised pre-school in Xai-Xai and bravely asked for Filipe to attend this
school so he could learn how to read and write, and continue his studies. At this
school, our sister charity UPG Portugal already sponsors 216 children through
the Sponsoring programme, financing meals, education (enrolment fees and
uniforms – compulsory in Mozambique) and basic health care every year.
Filipe is a hardworking student and he likes to draw.
His dream is to go to University! He has a stellar behaviour and because he is
in 1st grade with little children, he helps the teacher during
classes.
Examples of hard work and dedication from the
children’s side like this keep us going at ALG. These help us believe that
access to education and daily meals, in a healthy and dignified environment,
allows youngsters and children to reduce school drop-out rates and to break the
poverty cycle.
This
is ALG’s mission. Help us grow.
