Usha Kumal is 10 years old and lives in Leknath, Nepal. She comes from a poor family. Her father (Durga Kumal) is a farm labourer, and her mother (Kumari) looks after the family of seven.

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 Usha. Five pounds (10 US dollars) per month will give her free education and a future at Darrick Wood School, Nepal.
