Tifanny is a 7-year-old second-grader at the Jorge Escudero Moscoso School in Quito, Ecuador.
She has a slight cleft palate, but she doesn’t let it get in the way of her hopes, dreams, and studies. She also helps out a lot around the house.
She lives with her mother, father and older brother. Her dad works at a Kimberly Clark factory in the south of Quito, where he earns the national minimum wage of $320 a month before taxes. Her mom sells fruits and vegetables in Camal, a large open air market. All their income goes towards family expenses.
Thanks to your generosity, Charlotte, she will enjoy a month of warm, nutritious lunches at CENIT, where she eats between school and homework help sessions. Thank you!
