Mahoro Olivia is a girl of 16 years. She attends Calvary Chapel Christian School and is in Primary 6 this year. She has a great dream of becoming a journalist. She is a very pleasant and hard-working girl, and she is so happy to have a loving family and a place to rest and call home.
Before joining Asifiwe Child Care, Olivia’s biggest prayer request was to have a family that loved her and a place to call home.
Olivia’s father died before she was born and her mother died when Olivia was born. She lived with her grandmother, who also died when Olivia was young. After that a friend to her grandmother took her in and cared for her as if she was her very own granddaughter. She was an elderly woman and was unable to work very much, so Olivia and the two other children living with her did not often have enough food to eat. They moved from place to place, and Olivia was unable to attend school regularly, due to moving and to lack of funds for school fees. Then in 2015, the woman who was caring for her, left Olivia and the two others when she went to retire in her birthplace. As this happened, Olivia was able to join the first Asifiwe family and settle down. She is now able to attend school regularly and her needs are being met. She is doing well in her classes and I believe she will be able to attain her dream of becoming a journalist.
