Marie is a smart young girl who loves to smile. She two brothers and one sister. She lives with her parents in a deprived village of social amenities and safe drinking water. The family dwells in a mud house with unpaved floor and the bed rooms sealed with local mat that cannot resist cold in the rains. Marie sleeps with her sisters on a local bed with poor beddings, and they are exposed to cold wind at night. The family income is mainly from farming, as they cultivate on a small plot of land due to land tenure system. Their harvest is always poor due to the poor soil and unfavourable weather conditions. They grow crops like swamp rice and peanut. The family earns very little annual income. She attends the community primary school. With sponsorship, Marie will become educated and confident child.
