My Story

IN OZUITEM, THE RURAL PART OF ABIA STATE, NIGERIA, THERE ARE LOTS OF YOUNG GIRLS WHO HAS DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND ARE DOING NOTHING. POVERTY ENROLLED THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND LED THIS GIRLS INTO SLEEPING WITH MEN IN OTHER TO GET MONEY IN RETURN FOR SURVIVAL. THIS ACT HAS CAUSED THIS GIRLS INTO UNPLANNED AND UNWANTED PREGNANCY. LOTS OF THIS DROP OUT GIRLS HAS MORE THAN TWO CHILDREN WHO HAS NO ONE TO CARE FOR THEM OR FEED THEM. THIS HAS CAUSED THE CHILDREN TO BE HIGHLY DIRTY AND VERY ILL. MOST OF THEM HAS NO CLOTH, NO SLIPPERS NOR SHOE. THEY AREN'T IN SCHOOL AND ARE NOT RECOGNISED IN THE SOCIETY. THIS HAS GIVEN ME A HIGH SENSE OF THINKING AND HAS MADE ME CRY. SEEING THEM IN NEED AND IN PAIN WORRIES MY HEART. I HUMBLY DESIRE TO HELP THEM AS AM HIGHLY PASSIONATE TO THEIR BETTERMENT.
