Maria is the half-sister of Justine Namuyanja. Her father abandoned the family and has not provided any support, leaving their mother to raise the children on her own. With very limited resources, she is unable to afford school expenses for all of her children. CARITAS For Children is already assisting some of them, but Maria and two of her siblings remain without educational support.

Maria comes from a family of eight children. The family does not have a permanent home and has moved from place to place as they look for ways to meet their basic needs. Maria’s older sisters are now grown and have started lives of their own, but the younger children still depend on their mother.

Boarding school would provide Maria with the stability she needs to continue her education. She would have a safe place to stay, regular meals, and a consistent environment where she can focus on her studies rather than worrying about where the family will live next.

CARITAS For Children is seeking sponsors for Maria and her sisters who remain without educational support. With a sponsor’s help, Maria can continue her education and have the opportunity to build a brighter future.
