Baylasan, a resilient 13-year-old girl, has faced many hardships since her father’s arrest 11 years ago. Left in the care of her 65-year-old grandmother, she endures challenging circumstances in her daily life.
Abandoned by her mother and living in the town of Ariha, Baylasan and her younger brother are being raised by their elderly grandmother. Despite academic struggles and the emotional burden of her father’s absence, she dreams of becoming a teacher, striving toward a brighter future.
Challenges:
Baylasan’s life has been shaped by severe challenges. Her mother left years ago, placing the responsibility of care and financial support solely on her grandmother, who, at 65, finds it increasingly difficult to provide for their needs. This situation intensifies the emotional strain and financial pressure on both Baylasan and her grandmother, who also grapples with health issues. These hardships impact Baylasan’s academic performance, emotional well-being and overall stability.
