Fifteen-year-old Mantegbosh (far left) is now in school – and unmarried - thanks to DFID support.

“My father used to tell me that he was finished with sending me to school and he wanted to marry me off,” she says.

“He said he wanted to marry me to a rich man or someone more settled with a source of income. So I decided to find someone who would support me to get an education.”
