- Name: JOHN MUGOLE
- Class: Primary Two
- School Name: BUSAGAZI COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL
-
9 year old Mugole is one of three children. He has an older sister who is 10 and a younger brother who is 8. They all attend the same school and live with their mother, Zaituni Mutesi. Their father, Muzeyi Fred, abandoned the family years ago, and no one knows where he went. They reside in a very poorly built, small house, and with no beds, they sleep on a dusty floor, as their mother cannot afford basic necessities.
Living in the village of Kigwere on Busagazi Island, Mugole makes papyrus mats, which she sells for about 3,000 Ugandan shillings, equivalent to about 60 pence. Each mat takes her about a week to make. Sometimes, she fetches water from the well to sell to the local people, earning 30 pence for 10 jerrycans. However, when it rains, her business suffers because the papyrus doesn’t dry, and locals harvest rainwater instead.
Despite these hardships, Mugole loves singing in church and teaches other children church songs, which brings them joy and helps them stay positive. Please help Mugole so that he continues with his studies by funding or sponsoring him financially. -
At KINGSTONE UGANDA PROJECT, we believe all children deserve an equal chance to thrive. Your sponsorship can ensure a child has enough to eat, an education, and hope for the future. As a sponsor, you'll develop a special relationship with your sponsored child, receiving digital photos, handwritten messages, regular updates, and a monthly 1-5 minute WhatsApp video call.
You can choose a child to sponsor or let our team in Uganda select one in greatest need. It takes only a few minutes to become a sponsor, and you could change a child's life forever. Sponsorship costs just £15 a month, covering food, water, education, and healthcare for a child who walks to school from home.
For £25 a month, your sponsorship will also cover boarding school, which many Ugandan children attend due to distance. Boarding schools provide running water, good toilets, and shelter during heavy rains.
To learn more, please contact us through our website. We would be happy to talk with you, and you can even visit Uganda and our schools.
