"Grandma is already old and can't do everything anymore. Fortunately, my uncle and aunt help in the fields and around the house. I would like to help grandma when she is sick. That's why I want to become a doctor. I hope I can go to school every day next year. Then I can learn anything I want!"

My story

Hello! My name is Nakalyowa, Jennifer, and I was born on June 15, 2017. I live with grandma, my uncle and aunt in Lukumbi. Mama has gone to the village of Mika to look for work. We don't see dad anymore. I really like going to school. When I'm there, I really enjoy drawing. I often play games with my friends at school. When I'm at home, I also play outside a lot with the neighbor kids. Grandma always cooks very well for us. My favorite food is rice!

Why Jennifer needs our help

Her mother is a single mother, because father is no longer in the picture. She doesn't have a stable job herself. Grandma helps with the care of Jennifer, but she too cannot pay the school fees.
