Estifanos looks like a bit of a character to us. Perhaps a combination of wit, intelligence and support will be enough to see him go all the way to university and become a champion for his country.

Daniel Nkhoma was born in January 1994 in Lusaka, Zambia and is one of four children. Both his mum and dad are alive but neither is formally employed. His Mum sells fish and vegetables but they do not earn enough to rise above a hand-to-mouth existence. Whilst Daniel's education was delayed due to poverty, he now attends school and likes drawing. Daniel came into our lives through the kind donation of our client's the Muffet family. At their suggestion, we established a relationship with Daniel that will bear fruit. We will continue to support him and more children in his village and country over the next months, years and decades by regularly donating part of our profits from investing in the financial markets.

Ten-year old Manifa comes from the Muslim Mandinka tribe in Gambia. She has two brothers and one sister. Her hobbies are playing rounders and also dancing to local music. Her parents are farmers who rely on seasonal rains to earn a living, but produce has been low in recent years due to short rainfall and lack of modern farming tools. Her parents income after their yearly harvest is approximately $US 350. This is not enough care for Manifa and her siblings. Manifa attends the primary school in their village. She has one school uniform and sometimes goes to school hungry. Our assistance through ChildFund will be of great help to this girl and her family.
