Lakeri K.'s Story

Lakeri is a 9-year-old girl living with her maternal grandmother in Kaliro District. Lakeri was born HIV positive to a mentally unstable mother. The mother is said to have schizoaffective symptoms and her whereabouts are currently unknown though the family assumes that she might have died. Lakeri’s grandmother is a small-scale farmer and cares for one more person with mental health issues in the home. The grandmother struggles to make ends meet and therefore, Lakeri is often times sent back home due to her grandmother’s inability to provide school requirement and tuition. Lakeri does not have a strong support system to fund her school fees, we believe that support through sponsorship to this child will bring hope to this child.
