At an age of 18, after having 3 children already, she gave her life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. That decision led to a fall out between and her husband, old enough to be her father or even a grandfather. She was thrown out of her husband's home.

She worked as a domestic servant for 6 years for Pastor Bayimuse Robert, of Jesus Life Change Ministries (Iganga) to attain the current level of education she is in. while.

Finally, 2 years ago, she was successful in the National University Entrance Examination. She could not afford university studies, and has now stayed home for 2 years.

Edith was told about us and she approached us in November 2018. She is a total orphan, which explains why the uncles were able to manipulate and arrange a marriage for her to a wealthy man.

Edith has a dream of becoming a school teacher teaching English and Literature in England. She is given a place for 2019/2020-July, for University intake at Kyambogo University.

Patience has good grades in her national examination qualifying for further education. She was introduced to us by her Pastor, during pastors' seminar in January 2019. We encouraged her to go to school by faith, and Rev. Peter Oyako is trying to raise income locally.

In spite of this, she has not given up her ambition for higher education, which is a guarantee of a good future for her. Annet got connected to us through, Vastine Arinaitwe, one of the girls we supported throughout all her education up to university.

Annet's mother is a widow and cannot afford to help Annet in any way financial to pursue her dreams.

Annet was generally depressed when we met her last year in October, but now she is encouraged after a counseling session. Her trust is in God for a miracle this year 2019.

Priscilla's parents are all still alive but are sick and weak. The father is diabetic, and has blood pressure and liver complications.The mother has several chronic elements as well.
