Thankfully, their touching story attracted the interest of many Ghanaians, including President Akufo-Addo who directed the Scholarship Secretariat to offer her a full scholarship.
The Municipal chief executive for Mfantiman, Kenneth Kelly Essuman, visited Faustina last week to announce the scholarship.
She was subsequently presented with a scholarship letter, a laptop and mobile phone to Fausitna to help in her studies.
Her 60-year-old mother was also presented with cash garnered from donors across the country to aid her re-launch her trading business.
