Meet Linda Nakitende, an 18-year-old student at St. James Legacy Secondary School in Uganda's central region. Linda’s story is one of unwavering

resilience, relentless determination, and unshakable commitment to her dream of becoming a doctor.

As the eldest of three children in a family grappling with severe financial hardships, Linda has faced challenges that could have easily deterred even the strongest spirit.

Born to a single mother, Nakasaga Rita, who lives in Mulago and struggles to provide for her children and a father who remains unemployed, Linda's journey has been anything but easy.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Linda’s passion for education has been her guiding light. Over the years, she has experienced prolonged periods of absenteeism and changed schools multiple times, searching for any opportunity to learn. Often, she has had to repeat classes due to school changes and missed exams because of unpaid fees. But Linda has never allowed these obstacles to extinguish her dream.

Currently in Senior Four, Linda’s cousin, Ndagire Benah, has opened her home to Linda, recognizing her unyielding determination to succeed. Although Benah herself faces financial instability, she is inspired by Linda's humility, sense of humor, and positive outlook on life.

Linda’s resilience shines brightly in her academics and her aspirations. She is not only committed to her own success but also driven by a deep desire to support her siblings, who were forced to drop out of school. Linda believes that with full support and prayers, she can rise above her circumstances and become a source of hope for her family and community.

Linda’s story reminds us that determination can overcome adversity and that dreams can be transformed into reality with a helping hand. She is not just a student; she is a future doctor, a role model, and a testament to the power of perseverance. Let Linda’s story inspire us all to be a part of her journey and help her unlock her full potential.

Thank you so much for joining us on this journey through your support.

Ashinat: A Story of Strength and Hope

Meet Ashinat Kasule: A Story of Strength and Hope

Ashinat Kasule is a 15-year-old girl with a heart full of dreams and an unyielding spirit that refuses to give up, no matter how tough life gets. As the firstborn of two children, she has faced challenges that would overwhelm many, yet she continues to rise above her circumstances with courage, humility, and determination.

A Journey of Resilience

Ashinat's life has been anything but easy. Her father abandoned the family, leaving her mother to shoulder the responsibility of raising two children alone. The weight of these challenges eventually led to the loss of their home. When they were homeless and vulnerable, Deliverance Church Kakeka became their refuge, offering shelter and a glimmer of hope during their darkest times.

The struggles didn’t stop there. Ashinat’s father, consumed by life’s frustrations, developed a mental illness and disappeared, leaving the family to fend for themselves. Ashinat’s mother, with the church's support, started a modest street-side snack shop selling fried cassava. This small business sustains the family but often falls short of meeting their needs—a reflection of the same unwavering determination that defines Ashinat.

Education: A Path to a Brighter Future

Despite her hardships, Ashinat remains steadfast in her belief that education is her way out of poverty. She walks to school every day, driven by a dream of creating a better life for her family. Her humility, discipline, and resilience have made her a standout student, earning the admiration of her peers and teachers alike. Her academic achievements in the face of such adversity highlight her incredible potential.

Ashinat dreams of a future where her family’s struggles are a thing of the past—a future where her mother’s sacrifices are honored, and her brother can dare to dream big.

How You Can Make a Difference

Ashinat’s story is a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of a helping hand. By sponsoring her education, you can help turn her dreams into reality. Your support will do more than fund her school fees; it will provide hope for an entire family.

This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact. By standing with Ashinat, you’re not just supporting a child—you’re giving her family a chance to rise above their challenges and rewrite their story.

Will you join Ashinat on this journey? Your support is more than a financial contribution; it’s a vote of confidence in her potential and a step toward transforming her life. Together, we can help Ashinat achieve the greatness she is destined for.

Your support matters. It can change her world.
