Toula is 13 years old, and is studying for her exams.
She lives with her grandmother in Tourchawane village, in
the Timbuktu region of Mali.
Toula and her class mates are given a 4kg container of flour
if they complete at least 80% attendance at school.
The flour is provided by the World Food Programme, and distributed
by Islamic Relief through its school canteens project.
Toula spoke to Islamic Relief staff about her life, and hopes
for the future:
"My father is dead, and I am separated from my mother
as she married another man and left me with my two little
sisters to live with him.
I come from a very poor family, which does not have the means
to supply me with my school supplies each year.
