Jolam and his siblings face a life far removed from the comfort and security that childhood should ideally offer. Struggling with the absence of basic necessities, their daily existence is marked by the lack of essential meals and decent clothing. This situation stems from the acute poverty that envelops their home, a challenge compounded by their parents' inability to provide for their needs adequately. With the mother confined to the home and the father engaged in selling charcoal in the nearby trading center, the family's income is insufficient to cover both household necessities and the educational needs of the children.

Despite these adversities, Jolam continues to attend a local traditional school, striving to keep up with his studies under less-than-ideal circumstances. However, the lack of resources hampers his ability to perform on an equal footing with his peers, highlighting the urgent need for external support to bridge this gap. His ambition to become a motorcar mechanic underscores his desire to rise above the current constraints and forge a path towards a more promising future.

The call for assistance for Jolam is a plea for an opportunity to alter the trajectory of his life positively. By providing the support he needs to continue his education, there's a chance to not only fulfill his personal aspirations but also to break the cycle of poverty that currently defines his family's existence. Support for Jolam's education represents a critical investment in his future, one that has the potential to empower him to achieve his dreams and contribute meaningfully to his community.

 

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.
