My Story

My Home Life: My name is Kiwanuka, Alex.  I am the Father of Bettinah.  We live in Bunena Village in a one-bedroom brick house with 5 children—4 girs and one boy.

Bettinah is a humble and obedient child who shows great respect to me and other elders. At home, her responsibilities include washing utensils, sweeping the compound, and mopping the house.

The mother left us in 2020 after I lost my job. my father lost his job. Since then, I have taken full responsibility for raising my children.  I managed to buy a boda boda and now earns about 8,000 Ugandan shillings (approximately $2.29) a day by making deliveries in the community.

However, this small income is not enough to meet our family’s basic needs or pay school fees. That is why I am seeking educational support for Bettinah, so she can continue her studies and work toward a better future.
