Jovia Akumu

Uganda
DOB: 06/17/2009
Female
Good Health
Favorite Subject: English
Favorite Pastime: Netball

Jovia is a diligent student, and is currently enrolled in school, but struggles to attend consistently due to her family's financial situation. She has faced significant hardships since the tragic loss of her father in a car accident. This incident left her mother in a state of shock, leading to a brief hospitalization.

Jovia's mother suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, conditions that have severely impacted her ability to work and provide for the family. As a result, the family struggles daily, often having to skip meals, with only supper being a constant.

Despite these challenges, Jovia remains determined to pursue her education. However, the lack of school supplies and financial support makes it difficult for her to meet the academic demands of her studies. Jovia dreams of becoming a nurse and is committed to her education, but she urgently needs assistance to focus on her studies and achieve her aspirations.

Your support could provide Jovia with the necessary resources to continue her education uninterrupted, helping her realize her dream of becoming a nurse and improving her family's situation.

About my community:
St. Francis of Assisi (Lugazi)
In the Lugazi Diocese, CARITAS finds some of the poorest families in all of Uganda. Because of St. Francis of Assisi's great love for the poor, he is the patron of this community. We pray for his intercession so that more children in this diocese have a chance to overcome the poverty that they have always known.
About my country:
Uganda
Known as the "Pearl of Africa," Uganda is located on the shores of Lake Victoria in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. Since emerging from decades of civil war and the devastation of AIDs, estimates indicate that 48% of Uganda's population is below the age of 15. Young children suffer disproportionately in the struggle to access healthcare, education, and clean water.
