Clarisse Zongo is a bright and determined seventh grader who attends school for the 2024-25 academic year. Living with her grandmother, she is part of a large multigenerational household that lacks running water and electricity. Despite these challenges, Clarisse's family works together on their farm, ensuring they have enough food to sustain themselves throughout the year, thanks to the rainy season. Every day, she shows incredible dedication by riding her bike 3 kilometers to school, where her favorite subjects are history and geography.

After school, she enjoys studying, playing games, and helping with household chores.
