Grace Namukisa
Uganda
Female
Good Health
Favorite Subject: English
Favorite Pastime: Singing

Grace lives with her grandmother and her sister, Jane, after her parents' struggles with alcoholism left them unable to care for their children. Following the recent passing of her grandfather, Grace's elderly grandmother became the family's sole caregiver.

Because of her age, Grace's grandmother is unable to earn a steady income, making it difficult to provide for the family's daily needs and school expenses. Although Grace was able to begin the school year, financial challenges meant she could only attend for a short time before being sent home due to unpaid fees.

Grace has a strong desire to learn and hopes to return to school as soon as possible. She dreams of becoming a nurse and is eager to continue her education. With the support of a sponsor, Grace would be able to return to the classroom and work toward achieving her goal.

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.
