“Faustina, who lives in Ghana, revealed that she lost both her husbands and has since taken full responsibility for the well-being of all her children. According to an interview going viral, her meager income is not enough to provide enough food, clothing, health care, or reliable education for the children. The situation has become more tragic as one of her sons, who completed his admission to Accra Academy under Ghana’s Free High School (SHS) program, is now at risk of missing school due to failure afford travel expenses,” read on GH Youth Arise notes.
