Grace was the second child born to her parents who were married and in an exclusive relationship. She lived with both parents until the death of her father in 2003. Grace then stayed with her mother until 2009 when she moved to live with her grandmother. Her mother is a peasant farmer and struggled to provide for her family’s needs; the paternal grandmother of the children has been helping her with school fees. Since the grandmother works at New Hope Uganda, she asked the mother if Grace could live with her so she could attend school at New Hope Uganda. Grace was given a place in our primary school and now our secondary school. The mother visits Grace at New Hope Uganda and Sophie also visits to her mother during the long holidays. Since coming to New Hope Uganda, we have learned that Grace is sweet, quiet, likes to write, and swim. In the future she would like to become a doctor or lawyer.

Sophie was the last born child of her parents who were living together, but unmarried; her father had one other relationship. She lived with both parents until her parents “divorced” when she was 4 years old. Her mother took the family to live with her brother. In 2007, her father died, and at that time, Sophie went to live with her maternal uncle and aunt. They were caring for 8 other children including 3 children of their own and Sophie’s brother, Lubwama. Since the family are peasant farmers and do not make enough money to pay for schooling for Sophie, they brought her to New Hope Uganda in 2008 for help with her education. Sophie was accepted into our sponsorship program and in 2014, she moved in with Charles and Kevina Onyango who are New Hope Uganda staff members. Sophie moved in with them because it was a long distance to travel every day from her home to school, but she continues to visit her relatives during school holidays. Since joining our sponsorship program, we have learned that Sophie is brilliant, humble, and hard-working.

Story
Julian’s parents were not married but in an ongoing casual relationship. Her father died in 2001 and her mother died in 2003. After the death of their mother, the children were taken to live with their maternal grandparents. The grandfather died in 2005 leaving the grandmother, who is a peasant farmer, to look after Julian and six other children. She struggles to provide for all their needs and there is very little to spare for education. The grandmother was advised to seek help from Kasana Children’s Center by one of our workers in their village. Julian was given a place in our Nursery school. Julian has worked her way steadily through our schools and is now in our Investment Year program. She likes to sing and would one day like to become a primary school teacher
