Pretty is the youngest of four children in a family that is doing its best to get by with very limited resources. Her father works as a door-to-door compound cleaner in their village, earning about $25 a month. His work depends on when neighbors can afford to hire him, so income is inconsistent and sometimes he goes days or weeks without a job.

Pretty’s mother farms on a small scale to grow food for the family, but the harvest is rarely enough to meet their needs. Despite all her hard work, the children often go without enough to eat.

Pretty is a bright and friendly girl who loves learning and dreams of becoming a doctor. But without support, continuing school may not be possible. Her parents, who deeply hope for a better future for their children, have reached out to CARITAS For Children in hopes that someone might help.

Any support for Pretty’s education—and possibly her siblings as well—would make a meaningful difference and be received with heartfelt gratitude.

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.
