Vanessa's Story

Vanessa lives in Kamabuye Sector with both of her parents and her siblings. They have a small piece of land where they grow crops, and they live in a modest house, though it is in poor condition and needs renovation. The parents rely solely on cultivating for others to earn a living, which often makes it difficult to feed their six children. Vanessa’s mother suffers from a condition she developed after a difficult childbirth, which required surgery and left her with complications that still haven’t healed. As a result, she is unable to perform heavy tasks.


Despite these challenges, Vanessa excels in her studies, supported by AOF, and consistently ranks first or second in her class. She dreams of becoming a pilot. Her mother greatly appreciates Vanessa’s dedication both in school and at home. "Vanessa is a hardworking girl, both at school and at home. She is very helpful, assisting us with various household chores like sweeping and washing dishes," her mother said.
