Lilian recently lost her sponsor of six years and badly needs a new one to receive the care she needs and live a dignified life. 

Lilian’s family is in a very difficult situation, although a common one for Ugandan families. Her father passed away when she and her siblings were very young, and her mother suffers from HIV. Because of her health conditions and the loss of her husband, Lilian’s mother cannot manage to provide for her children alone, although she works very hard to feed and clothe her children by digging in people's gardens.

Lilian needs to go to boarding school so that she will be properly provided for as a growing girl needing food, safety, hygiene products, and most importantly, an education. Without a sponsorship, Lilian will be forced to live her life fetching water, gathering wood, and helping her mother dig gardens which will continue the cycle of poverty she grew up in. Additionally, it puts her in a precarious position where she can easily be taken advantage of for a simple meal.

Her previous report cards demonstrated that Lilian is very clever, loving, and has demonstrated good leadership abilities. Lilian's desire is to become a midwife so that she can help save more mothers from dying during childbirth, and so that she can become self-reliant and support her family. 

To help Lilian go to boarding school, she will need $120/month from one sponsor or $60/month from two sponsors.
