Empower Dreams, Transform Lives: Be a Guardian for Rosemary’s Future.

In the heart of the Timber Market, a story of resilience and determination is unfolding. Meet Rosemary Addo, a 16-year-old with dreams as vast as the sky and a spirit that refuses to be dimmed by adversity. Rosemary’s journey has been marked by challenges that no child should face, but her determination to rise above them is nothing short of inspiring.

Rosemary’s world changed when she lost her father to a sudden stroke, leaving her mother, Beatrice Addo, as the sole provider for their family. Battling to keep the family afloat, Beatrice worked tirelessly until she was struck by shingles, a condition that left her frail and unable to work. As if fate hadn’t finished testing this family, a devastating fire robbed them of their home and belongings, pushing them to a fragile existence in a makeshift shed.

But amidst these trials, Rosemary’s spirit remains unbroken. Despite the challenges, she is a dedicated student, excelling in Form 1 at Adaklu Senior High School. She possesses an insatiable thirst for knowledge and dreams of becoming a lawyer. Rosemary’s aspirations are fueled by the belief that education is her path to a brighter future, one where she can break the cycle of hardship that has plagued her family.

However, Rosemary’s dreams are at a crossroads. The cost of education – transportation, uniforms, books, and examination fees – has become an insurmountable barrier. Her mother’s illness and their dire living situation have pushed them to the edge. This is where the Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF) and compassionate individuals like you come in.
