Health Issues Hinder Girls to Attend Classes

By Samira | Project Assistant

Health issues have arisen for some of our MCP girls. It's rough because they are already distracted because of their menstrual cycles which hinder them from attending classes (unless they use the menstrual kits we provide them), they're hungry and they have so many responsibilities at home. We always have kids who have health issues that require major care that they can't afford which keeps them out of school even longer. Right now we have a girl who is experiencing heart issues. One of her valves to her heart is very narrow and isn't pumping enough blood. She will need surgery to fix this. If this waits any longer, she may not make it. She definitely cannot go to school in this condition. We also have guardians who are in need of medical attention. When the guardians are sick the children must stay home from school to care for the household. This is just a reminder that even when we help so much there is still so much assistance the girls need and we would love to be able to help all the girls with the types of funds they need to keep them in school. Thank you for your support.
