Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, who resides in the United Kingdom, sought full or joint guardianship of her niece F.T.M. (born 29 December 2008), arguing that the child's father Lawrence Mungwari could not afford to care for the child. The applicant had been financially supporting the child's education and wanted guardianship to facilitate bringing the child to the UK for better educational opportunities.
