My Story

My Home Life: 

I am the youngest in my family and live with my mother, father, and siblings—two brothers and three sisters. My mother’s name is Babirye Hellen, and we live in a single-room brick house in Butangala village.

Shifurah is a disciplined child who respects me and other elders. Her responsibilities at home include washing utensils and sweeping the compound.

My mother is a housewife, and my father is a bricklayer. He makes bricks and sells them, but what he earns—10,000 shillings ($2.86) a month—is not enough to meet all our needs. This is why I am in need of educational support.
