Elijah M.'s Story

Elijah lives with his mother in Jinja District. Elijah’s father got involved in an accident that left him incapacitated and he is not able to provide for the children. Elijah has two siblings, his mother struggles to ensure that they are all in school. She sells charcoal to provide for the necessities of the children but often struggles to provide for the children. Elijah is in grade four at a nearby government aided school but he is often sent back home due to the mother’s failure to complete his school fees. His dream is to become a doctor so that he can help the elderly people in the community. We believe that with the support from the sponsorship program of Forgotten Children Worldwide, his dreams can be achieved.
