Decisions...

A boy of 15 desperately wants to go to Sec school. His mother was raped when she was 14 and raised the boy alone until she married. She has 5 children. Her husband  left her for a second wife who is now coming to the family home. The boy was living there with the grandmother but received death threats. He fled to an aunt's house. The aunt died & then the uncle, leaving the boy with the two orphan children. He kept himself in elementary school by digging, carrying water and scored quite well in final exams, but has been home for a year for lack of fees. He needs $200 to go to secondary school. Our funding is almost exhausted. What would you do?
