Margaret’s father abandoned her when she was very young. She was living with her mother, her older sister and niece and nephew, and her grandmother in a very small house. In 2007, her mother died due to AIDS. Two weeks later, her sister died of AIDS related illness as well. Margaret was only 12 years old at the time. Because her grandmother was old and unable to care for 3 young children, the responsibility of caring for her younger niece and nephew fell on Margaret. This was a heavy burden for such a young girl. Their situation was discovered by the welfare department and the three children were brought to Treasures of Africa.
Today Margaret is 15years old. Without the responsibility of raising her niece and nephew, she can now concentrate on her school work and enjoy life as a normal teenager. She just completed her first year of high school, an opportunity that would have been very unlikely if she had not come to TOA. Although she is very quiet and shy, when it comes to singing for the Lord she is not shy at all. She has a beautiful voice and loves to sing and glorify the Lord. She often leads choir songs and wants to become a singer some day. We praise the Lord that now Margaret’s future has endless possiblities!
