Story:
Lubega lost both his parents due to HIV/AIDS, left with his older sister
who couldn’t take of him he was brought into the home through the ministry to their village of
Nakaseke. Though people in this village mainly try to earn a living by raising livestock or
farming crops like bananas and maize, most farmers lack training and resources to improve their
production, making it difficult to produce enough to eat and sell. More than half of kids under 5
aren’t developing at healthy rates because they’re not getting enough nutritious food. Families
also lack access to clean water and latrines, and children suffer from preventable waterborne
illnesses without proper sanitation. People have few opportunities to get healthcare, nutrition
information, or medicine. Parents don’t prioritize education and religion since many are
indigenous cultures, and they have low awareness of how vital it is to breaking the cycle of
poverty. Too many children must drop out to help make ends meet at home, and those who do stay in
school face overcrowded classrooms and dilapidated buildings without infrastructure like running
water. Family structures aren’t strong, and kids aren’t well-protected from violence or abuse,
even at home.
Lubega is now with us at the orphanage and has hope of resuming school soon. He helps by caring
for the animals. He likes to play football and singing through the worship hours. He is in
satisfactory health.
Your sponsorship commitment will help Lubega get better access to resources out of poverty through
health care, feeding, education among others.
He wants to be a footballer when he grows up
