School gardening in South Sudan

Mary Oliver is a student at the Nambia Primary School in Maridi, South Sudan. She is 19 years old. Her classroom is very small so the students have to sit under a mango tree. Mary lives together with her siblings and her grandparents. She does not know where her parents are. Here in school she learns how to grow vegetables and take care of a garden, which she finds very helpful. Credit: Nyokabi Kahura/Malteser International
