Vicky Auma
Gender: Female
Grade: Primary 7
Location: Barr
Sponsorship Need: Boarding
Vicky comes from a family living on a small piece of land in Barr, a place that has never recovered from Uganda’s nineteen-year civil war. Her home life is also filled with stress, as her father has two wives and many children between them. Vicky’s mother, Agnes, is the second wife and has seven children, of which Vicky is the youngest.
Agnes has impressed us as one of the hardest working women in her community, constantly taking advantage of every opportunity to make a way for her children, often laboring from morning until night. But despite her efforts, none of her children have been able to advance past primary school, and there has always been a lack of essentials, like clothing and medicine.
It was a dream come true when Vicky was selected for child sponsorship in 2015. She has progressed through her primary years, and she now needs a boarding sponsor to help her become the first in her family to attend secondary school. There are no words to describe this family’s joy at the opportunity that will set their lives in a new direction. Your sponsorship will give them renewed hope and great cause for celebration.
Vicky needs a boarding sponsor for $35/month.
