Students Background: Mary is fifteen years old and lives with her parents and seven brothers and sisters.

Thanks to her hard work and with support from her EFAC sponsors, Mary is now in her first year at Naivasha Girls High School. In this presentation, Mary shares photos from her home and school in Kenya.
