Felista resides with her parents in a modest rented house on the outskirts of a small town near Lake Victoria. Her father supports the family by selling fried pieces of the Nile perch fish, a business conducted in the early morning and evening hours. The mother, a homemaker, relies on the father's earnings for the family's sustenance. Living in a slum area with limited space, the family's home consists of a small room.

Despite the challenges, Felista attends a nearby privately owned school. She actively engages in her studies, but her progress is hindered by the lack of essential school supplies. The family's financial constraints make it difficult for Felista to access the necessary materials for her education. Support for Felista would enable her to overcome these obstacles and pursue her aspiration of becoming a teacher.
