About Miriam lives with her mother, brother, her two sisters and her grandparents. Her mother relies on casual jobs for income but due to the low wages she earns it has been difficult for her to get enough money to pay Miriam’s school fees and her other siblings who are in school. She is usually sent back home from school due to not having completed paying her school fees and this has affected her grades negatively as she tends to miss classes a lot. Her wish is to find someone who would support her in paying her school fees and in return achieve her dream of becoming a fashion designer and help her parents in future.
