Background

Bridget stays with her family at Buyiga Island. Her mother has been suffering from a severe breast illness since 2018 and she is always very sick and she can no longer work.

Bridget spends most of her time taking care of her sick mother since she dropped out of school due to lack of school fees. Sanyu wishes to continue with her education but her father’s small income can not sustain him in school.

Her father is hired to dig on other people’s gardens from which he earns a very small income that can not pay for school fees for his children and also other basic needs for the family.

Bridget has been off school for a year now due to lack of school fees and she is looking for an opportunity to be sponsored so that she can continue with her education at a good boarding High school off the Island.
