Mariam's father died, however the reason for the death was not clear. Later the mother tests Positive of HIV. Unfortunately, she also did not live long, so she died too. Mariam was left behind with a step-mother, who mistreated her and made her a slave, usually on an empty stomach. Sometimes, neighbors gave her some thing to eat as she worked hard at that tender age. With the help of the village councilor she was identified, sought for assistance in Canaan, and brought to Canaan. Now she is a happy young girl.
