Genevy Anyango, a 15-year-old girl, sits pensively on a desk next to the office of the head teacher at Rabuor Primary School as tears rolls down her face.

Abandoned by her mother at a tender age and forced to rely on a guardian, Genevy has not reported to school after failing to secure financial support to transition to Grade 10.
