Genevieve and Pamela are sisters who have been living with their mother ever since their father passed away in 2019. Their mother has taken on the challenging role of both mother and father, despite facing difficulties as a victim of HIV/AIDS, the same disease that claimed her late husband's life. Despite the challenges, she has been doing her best to care for the family. To support them, she grows crops and sells some of the harvest to provide for their basic needs. Additionally, she collects firewood, selling it to help cover her children's school fees.

Genevieve is a determined student who attends classes, but her academic progress is hindered by financial constraints faced by the family. On several occasions, she is sent back home to collect fees balances, causing disruptions in her education. This irregular attendance has had a significant impact on her academic performance.

To fulfill her dream of becoming a Pilot, Genevieve needs assistance to have a steady attendance at school. By receiving support, Genevieve can have the opportunity to focus on her education without the constant worry of unpaid fees. With a stable learning environment, Genevieve can work towards her aspiration of becoming a Pilot, making her dreams take flight and positively impacting her community and beyond.

 

About my community:
St. Francis of Assisi (Lugazi)
In the Lugazi Diocese, CARITAS finds some of the poorest families in all of Uganda. Because of St. Francis of Assisi's great love for the poor, he is the patron of this community. We pray for his intercession so that more children in this diocese have a chance to overcome the poverty that they have always known.
About my country:
Uganda
Known as the "Pearl of Africa," Uganda is located on the shores of Lake Victoria in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Since emerging from decades of civil war and the devastation of AIDs, estimates indicate that 48% of Uganda's population is below the age of 15. Young children suffer disproportionately in the struggle to access healthcare, education, and clean water.
