Florence, the second-born in her family, is facing the harsh reality of living below the poverty line. While both of her parents are alive, their financial situation is extremely challenging. Her father cultivates crops on a small plot of land, and her mother remains a housewife, relying on her husband to provide for the family.

The harvest from their garden is barely enough to sustain their daily meals. Any surplus is sold to meet the basic needs of the household, leaving no room for the payment of school fees, particularly for Florence and her brother. Fortunately, their elder sister has received assistance from a caring aunt who has taken up the responsibility of meeting the school's demands for her education.

Sadly, Florence's attendance in classes has been inconsistent due to the lack of necessary school requirements. This setback has had a significant impact on her academic performance, hindering her potential to excel. Despite these obstacles, Florence possesses a promising aptitude for learning.

With the right support and assistance, Florence can overcome these challenges and fulfill her dream of becoming 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.
