About Habiba's Family
Habiba's family is incredibly poor. She and her sister both live in the orphanage next to CHETI 5 school. Given Habiba's very challenging living conditions, it was important to move her into the orphanage and get her started in school as soon as possible. The orphanage made an exception and allowed Habiba to share a bed with her sister, Fatuma. Her sister Fatuma is also a part of the Urafiki Program. Habiba has two other younger siblings - Rashida who is 5 years old and Isa who is 2 weeks old. Habiba has been a part of the Urafiki Program since July 2014.
Habiba's parents were both without work and living far from the schools. The CHETI School Director was able to provide a home for them in an older building on one of the campuses and is providing odd-jobs for Fatuma's father on the school properties.
