Class

Born in 

2008

Talent is in the genes in the Toure family. The brilliantly intelligent Mariam is already 8 years old, but due to lack of money, she only started school late, so she is only in second grade. She is raised in a family of six children, her father is literate and currently sells newspapers. Her mother didn't go to school, she sells salad at the market. She is the little sister of Djeneba Touré. Thanks to the support, Djénéba is already a high school student. Among her siblings, Aly also participates in our program. They live in a house with a perforated tin roof, where the rain falls in, so that the hut is almost uninhabitable during the rainy season. Their meals are not always satisfactory, sometimes only the unsold salad ends up on the table for days. Mariam is top of the class! The little girl with a deep voice answers the questions sensibly and confidently. She likes cartoons and wants to be a minister.
