Mariame works in the market selling fish to support her family.
Mariam lives in the Hamadallaye neighborhood with her aunt, sisters and cousins. Seven of them share one bedroom. Like many MindLeaps students, Mariame had to drop out of school in order to work to help support her family. Mariame works in the market selling fish during holidays. Her favorite food is “foo-foo” which is a cassava dish. She said, "Sometimes we have food. Sometimes not." Whenever she has some free time, she enjoys playing with her five year old nephew.
Mariame greatly enjoys IT training and hopes to become a computer programmer or electrician one day. She has also said she would be interested in being an ambassador.
