Kabito is a mother doing everything she can to keep her family together. You can read her full story below.
Her children have had to leave school to try and help bring home enough food for them to live on. She has persisted throughout to try and keep her children healthy and nourished but her own health is failing.
She would love to begin to raise goats on their small piece of land. With the support of a sponsor, this could happen through the FFA’s Resource program. (To learn more about the Andhra Family Sponsorship program, click here.)

Meet Kabito Biro – a mother doing everything she can to keep her family together. She was born into poverty and had little access to education. Hoping for a better future, she married young, to a much older man. But sadly, her husband turned out to be unfaithful and lazy. He eventually abandoned Kabito, leaving her with four children and no income.
Kabito’s older children saw that their mother could not support the family alone. They left school to find work. But with limited education and living in a remote rural area, there were few job prospects. As their mother’s health declined, they became desperate. Kabito’s teenage son began earning money working for local criminals and was eventually arrested for his involvement in a smuggling operation. With no money for a lawyer, he was sent to prison.
Now the family’s situation is even more dire than ever. All of Kabito’s children have discontinued their schooling for financial reasons, the youngest making it only to sixth grade. As a family they scrape by, able to do only the most basic manual labor due to their limited education and Kabito’s poor health. They are hard-working people, but their circumstances have left them in an endless spiral of poverty, malnutrition, and illness.
Yet, there is hope for the Biro family. A sponsor would make this family eligible to start a modest home-based business through the FFA’s Resource program. The ownership of a few goats would allow the family to sell their milk, earning and income and a source of stability. Monthly sponsor support could ensure the children receive enough food, and even return to school.
It takes only a modest commitment to change the future of this family. What better investment is there?
