About Ruth lives with both her parents, who work as casual laborers and farmers. Despite their hard work, the income from their jobs and the produce from their farming is not enough to meet the family's needs. Ruth has two older siblings who are currently attending university, and their educational expenses further strain the family's finances. As a result, Ruth is often sent home from school due to unpaid school fees, causing her to miss classes and disrupting her education. Nevertheless, Ruth remains a bright and determined student. She dreams of becoming an engineer in the future and is hopeful that she will find a sponsor to support her education. With the right support, Ruth is confident she can achieve her goals and build a successful future.
