This is Fadilatou.  She was born on September 25, 2017.  She comes from a Muslim family.  She lives with her parents and five siblings in a small home that does not have running water or electricity.  Neither one of her parents has a regular job, but their family has a small farm where they try to grow the food that they will eat throughout the year.  Fadilatou loves to play jump rope with her friends and siblings.  She dreams of becoming a nurse when she grows up.

Fadilatou was born a deaf mute.  Because of her handicap and culture, Fadilatou can be seen as a curse on her family.  She will not have many opportunities in life, but you have a chance help her get an education and show her that she is loved by God and by you!
