Zuena’s study life was smoothly running until in 2023 when her mother was faced with mental illness. Previously, the mother solely struggled for the education of her two biological daughters, and everything was smoothly moving until the beginning of 2023 when she started experiencing serious sickness which finally resulted into her developing mental illness. The relatives struggled to restore her life, but all ended in vain, until in March 2023 when she completely disappeared to date.

Following that situation, the education of Zuena together with her biological sister Miriam started facing severe hardships because their father who’s a construction site helper earns very little and all he gets can only cater for their feeding. And because of the father’s nature of work whereby he has no permanent job location, he couldn’t afford to care for his daughters in his single rented room and so he decided to send them to their maternal grandmother’s home where they found their half-sister and two half-brothers. Worse of that situation, the father also gave up on their studies because he couldn’t afford their fees requirements, and so they had to quit studying because the grand is also helpless to sponsor their education.

Luckily in October of 2023, one of their previous teachers discovered about the situation and tried to help and took them back to school but his income is also not enough to sustainably sponsor their education. So, Zuena’s education really seeks sponsorship if she’s to successfully attain her future dreams of becoming a Pilot.

About my community:
St. Teresa of Calcutta (Masaka)
In the Masaka Diocese, CARITAS finds many abandoned and orphaned children living with relatives in destitute poverty. Since the hardship, there is so extreme, and our sponsors bring so much hope and love to these families, we have chosen St. Teresa of Calcutta to be the patron saint of this community.
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.
