Shukran lives with her mother and two sisters in a small house near Lake Victoria. After the passing of her father three years ago due to a short illness, the family was left in a challenging situation. Shukran's mother, who now shoulders the responsibility of providing for the family, works tirelessly but struggles to make ends meet. With no stable income, she set up a small stall in their compound where she sells items like tomatoes, onions, eggplants, green peppers, and banana leaves. However, the income from this small venture barely covers the household needs, leaving nothing for Shukran's school fees.

Shukran is a bright and dedicated student who dreams of becoming a doctor. Her yearning for education is so strong that she often sheds tears when she sees other children going to school, knowing that she cannot join them. This situation deeply troubles her mother, who constantly worries about her daughter's future. With the right support, Shukran can continue her education and work towards her goal of excelling in her studies and eventually becoming a doctor.

 

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.
