There is a lot of pupils who are facing major problems in attending the school such as paying their school fees. Some of the children are not able to attend school at all, so they end up working with their parents and staying at home, where there's no education at all. Their parents are struggling with hard work market, trying to earn enough for basic needs by doing small trading or any other kind of work. For many of them it takes few months to pay at least the amount of money for the first term. There's 3 terms in a year, each costs around 25 dollars.

Here are some of the children having the biggest problems with payments:

John I. Kargbo - class III - John is the only child. His mother died few years ago so he's only living with his father who currently cannot find a job and is struggling to pay his son's school fees.

Zainab Sandy - class II - there's 3 children in the family, 2 boys and one girl. Her father died few years ago and mom is trying hard doing some small trading, selling vegetables.

Alhaji M.B. Sesay - class III - Alhaji comes from a family of 7 children, although 4 of them died while trying to escape from Sierra Leone during the war. His father was a soldier but currently he's retired. Mother is paralyzed and unable to work. His uncle is partially helping to pay some of the school fees.    

Esther Alpha - class II - the girl is the only child. Both of her parents are not working. Her mother is studying so she would be able to expand her possibilities in the future.
