Desire is on the ORA Uganda sponsorship programme and was previously sponsored by an organisation in Austria. Unfortunately, the organisation ceased sponsorship in 2022, leaving 35 children without sponsors. Our local partners, ORA Uganda, have continued providing for these children in the interim, in the hope that new sponsors will be found. This is putting immense financial strain on the organisation. Desire is still without a sponsor; here’s her story.
Desire joined the sponsorship programme in 2021. She is currently in top class (equivalent to NZ reception). Desire is proactive and performs well. Whilst still young, Desire has consistently expressed her ambition to become a doctor since joining the sponsorship programme.
Desire is described as friendly, jolly, and playful by her mother, who is her guardian and primary caregiver. Desire tragically lost her father, leaving her mother to care for six children on her own. To assist her mother, Desire helps with the domestic responsibilities, including fetching water. Despite these hardships, Desire expresses love and gratitude, stating, “I will pray for you, and I will pray for us.”
