Shirati lives with her single mother in their small one room rental home, deep in a rural village called Bukeka. They sleep on a mattress on the floor. Shirati’s father died in 2016. Shirati’s mother has heart problems which prevents her from doing any heavy labor. A relative was helping to pay for Shirati’s school fees, but since the pandemic and lockdown the relative lost his job, so Shirati has not been able to go back to school for a while. Shirati would be in Primary 3 at Bukeka Primary School if she is able to return. Because the mother does not have a job, she cannot afford to send Shirati to school without support. Shirati has one sponsor, but requires two to be fully covered. Could you be the next one to support Shirati so that she can have the opportunity to thrive in life?
Hayirati lives with her mother and younger sister in a one room house. She had been attending Nazigo Primary School and was doing well in Primary 1. The family is Christian. Hayirati was born with albinism, which makes her situation more difficult than the typical child. Hayirati’s father died in a boat accident 2 years ago, and her mother has no job, except that she tries to sell a few vegetables at her food stall. The house was given to them by a friend to stay in temporarily until they can get on their feet, but it’s not in good condition. Hayirati’s mother cannot pay the school fees without some support. Hayirati has one sponsor, but she needs one more to be fully covered. Could you be the one to give Hayirati hope and ensure that she can continue attending school?
Fred lives with his older brother and his mother Prossy, who does not have a job. His father died four years ago. They live in a very old one room house. Before Fred’s father died, his mother was selling charcoal, but the business collapsed since the mother ran out of money to fund the business. Fred’s mother now does odd jobs such as digging for people’s gardens so they can get a little to eat. They don’t have enough income to support the family, but a relative helps them with their rent payments on the house. Fred was born with albinism, which makes his situation much more difficult than the average child. He needs support so that he can go to school, and receive items to help protect his skin and eyes, such as lip balm, sunglasses and lip balm. Fred has one sponsor, but needs one more to be fully covered. Can you support Fred so that he can go to school and have a chance to live a life full of possibility and hope?
