Benjamin Basenakujjeng’s story

Basenakujengo Benjamin is a bright 12-year-old in Primary Six who approaches life with curiosity and drive. Serving as the third-born in a close-knit family of one brother and three sisters, Benjamin lives with his parents and enjoys spending his free time swimming.
Behind his cheerful demeanor, however, lies the heavy weight of financial strain. Because his family struggles significantly to get school fees together, Benja’s academic journey is filled with anxiety over whether he will be allowed to finish the term. Despite these barriers, Benja holds fast to a clear vision for his future: he wants to become a lawyer. Sponsorship will lift the heavy financial burden off his parents, guaranteeing uninterrupted attendance and providing Benja with the scholastic foundation he needs to defend justice one day.
