My story
Amber is the 3rd born child among the 5 who is under the care of their mother, a street vendor. Her mother explained to her that her father was a nomadic pasturalist and that one day he took the cattle to the far land and he never returned.Why Amber needs our help
Amber needs help with her studies because her single mother has more children to take care of and earns little income that cannot support the whole family of six including herself most especially on payment of all the school fees. With the absence of a father figure to support the children's education, Amber's possibilities of going ahead with school on her mother's salary are limited. UP4S as a project based in Amber's home village can admit her as a pupil in the primary school.
Amber is supported by impact partner UP4S
UP4S helps Ugandan orphans and underprivileged children from 3 to 18 years old by offering them a warm home and a good school education. UP4S has a primary school and a secondary school in the village of Bukomansimbi, where many of the children come from. An important starting point is that we raise the children to be young people who are proud of their own country and know how to survive here. In 2003, the UP4S foundation was founded by Sylvia Mbabazi to help underprivileged children in Uganda. Sylvia grew up in Bukomansimbi and has lived in the Netherlands since 1997. Sylvia herself was in the fortunate circumstance that she was able to get a good primary and secondary school education, but this was not the case for many of her fellow villagers. Together with a number of volunteers, it was decided to give the underprivileged children in Bukomansimbi and the surrounding area a chance at a good education. This is how the UP4S foundation (read: 'up for us', which means as much as 'stand up for us') was born.Sponsor Amber
