Lodin is one of four siblings who currently reside with their grandmother. Their father left the family in pursuit of employment, and the grandmother took on the responsibility of caring for the children. Unfortunately, she lost contact with their father. The grandmother faces challenges in providing for the family's needs, primarily relying on growing crops and keeping a few animals. However, the yield from these activities is just enough for home consumption, with no surplus for selling to generate income.

Lodin, his brother, and two sisters are smart children, and their grandmother understands how important it is that they receive an education so that they can be successful in their futures. She has turned to CARITAS For Children for assistance and desperately hopes she can get some help. In her old age, she simply can't work hard enough to provide for all of the family's needs.

Despite the hardships, Lodin has demonstrated himself to be a hardworking student academically. However, the family's financial situation poses a risk to his education. If appropriate assistance is extended to Lodin, it could pave the way for him to realize his dream of becoming a farmer in the future.

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.
