Christopher's life changed dramatically when his father passed away from COVID-19. Since then, he and his mother have been grappling with severe financial difficulties, struggling to meet even the most basic needs of their household. Living in poverty, they face constant challenges, particularly in affording Christopher's school tuition.

His mother works hard to support them, cultivating food crops on a small plot of land. Unfortunately, the yield is barely sufficient for their own consumption. To supplement this, she weaves baskets from papyrus ropes, selling them to purchase essential household items like soap and salt. Despite these efforts, the income generated is not enough to cover Christopher's school fees.

Christopher is a dedicated student, deeply interested in his studies. He harbors the dream of becoming a doctor, a goal that seems within reach with the right support. Assistance in funding his education would not only help him continue his academic journey but also bring him closer to fulfilling his ambition of entering the medical field.

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.
