I am the first-born child in a family of four children, two boys and two girls. I live with my parents, Muwanguzi Lillian and Muwanguzi Ivan, in a modest home with one bedroom and one living room. At home, I help with various household responsibilities, including washing dishes, fetching water from the borehole, collecting firewood for cooking, doing laundry, working in the garden, cooking, and keeping our house and compound clean. My father earns a living by making and selling bricks. He operates his brick-making business with a capital of UGX 300,000 ($76.41). My mother is a peasant farmer who grows food crops mainly for our family's consumption, with very little income earned from farming. Although my parents work hard to provide for our family, their income is limited and often not enough to meet all our household needs, including the cost of my education. I am committed to my education and determined to work hard to achieve my academic goals. Your support would enable me to continue my education, and greatly ease the financial burden on my family and give me the opportunity to pursue my studies and build a better future.
