(Part 1 / 4) Yamwaoga Sam, 40 years old, has lived a difficult life. She has been mute ever since she was a child, apparently the result of a case of meningitis. Yamwaoga never attended school. Considering her disability, her family didn’t think she would be able to benefit from an education. Instead, when she became old enough, she was married off, and she had two children. Unfortunately, her husband was abusive and she eventually left him and returned to live with her mother and uncles where she has a small home in an isolated corner of the property. She resides there with her youngest daughter, Mélène, who is now in Grade 7. #UnwrapPotential #InternationalDevelopment #SustainableDevelopment #DecemberGiving #HolidayGiving #TheSonderProject #SonderStories #ABrightFuture #foodsecurity #sustainableagriculture #solarirrigation #burkinafaso #africaagriculture
