Joseph is facing significant adversity at a young age due to the loss of both parents in tragic circumstances. His father died following a short illness, and his mother was killed in a traffic accident, leaving Joseph and his siblings in the care of their elderly grandmother. Despite her best efforts, the grandmother's physical limitations, characterized by pain in her legs and back, restrict her ability to fully provide for the grandchildren. Her mobility issues compound the challenges of caretaking, making it difficult for her to perform tasks that would help sustain the family.

The responsibility of caring for three children has placed a considerable strain on the grandmother, who strives to ensure their basic needs are met. However, the constraints of her age and health present an ongoing struggle. She endeavors to support the children's education and well-being, but the lack of resources and physical capability makes this task increasingly challenging.

Joseph, amidst these hardships, remains dedicated to his education, demonstrating resilience and a strong work ethic in the classroom. His ambition to become a doctor highlights his determination and hope for a better future. Assistance for Joseph would not only provide immediate relief to his family's current situation but also pave the way for him to achieve his aspirations and break the cycle of poverty. Support could ensure that Joseph stays in school, enabling him to pursue his dream of a medical career and ultimately contribute positively to society.

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.
