I am the third-born in a family of four children, with two brothers and one sister. I live with my mother, Nabirye Monica, in a house with one living room and one bedroom.
My father passed away in 2025 after living with HIV/AIDS. My mother is also living with HIV/AIDS and is often unwell, making it difficult for her to work regularly. She is a peasant farmer and the food crops grown are mainly for home consumption, and she also works as a casual laborer in other people's gardens, where she earns about UGX 10,000 after two days of hard work. This income is not enough to meet all of our family's basic needs.
Despite these challenges, I remain determined to continue with my education and work hard to achieve my goals. I am respectfully seeking educational support so that I can stay in school and build a better future for myself, and one day support my family.
