Birthday: June 7, 2008 Sponsorship #: 2016-00-031JHCM

Christella first entered our sponsorship program when she was seven years old. She went to school steadily for almost ten years before she had to flee the village in 2025 due to her father passing away. It was too dangerous for her and her sisters to remain in the village without an adult. In February, Christella and her sisters returned to the village to the house that was built for them by BGM. Christella is now seventeen years old and she has grown into a beautiful young woman.  Christella lives in Cadasse with her seven siblings.  She has four sisters and three brothers and they live with their oldest brother.  Her mother left their family when Christella was a baby and her father died last year after battling a deadly skin disease that he was able to keep under control when the clinic was open, but became septic after it closed.

Christella loves school and she enjoys helping out her family by washing the dishes, cooking, and keeping the house clean. She also loves to participate in activities at the BGM church. She wants to become a nurse one day.
