Basna Kumal is 5 years old and lives in Leknath, Nepal. She comes from a poor family. Her father (Nur Badahur Kumal) is a farm labourer, and her mother (Santi) looks after the family of five.

In Nepal farm labourers earn about fifteen pounds (1800 rupees) a month, and often the children are taken out of schooling because parents cannot afford monthly fees, uniform, books or equipment. Please consider sponsoring Basna. Five pounds (10 US dollars) per month will give her free education and a future at Darrick Wood School, Nepal.
