Female
Good Health
Favorite Subject: Science

Erios lives with her mother in a single rented room in the suburbs of Nkokonjeru Town. Erios' mother has had a complicated life. She dropped out of school after getting pregnant and her parents kicked her out of their home and told her to fend for herself. She tried to live with the father of her unborn child, but he wasn't ready to be a parent and ran away from that responsibility. Erios' mother was heartbroken and confused.

Eventually, she was able to find a job as a housemaid and a small room to stay in on the outskirts of town. After she gave birth, the family who employed her decided to let her go. Now, she has been able to rent a small piece of land to grow crops to feed herself and Erios, and sell the extra for their basic needs.

Erios is a hardworking girl with a lot of promise. Her mother has requested assistance from CARITAS For Children to cover school fees for her daughter. If assisted,  Erios will be able to stay in school, and hopefully one day she will be able to realize her dream of being a nurse.

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.
