Rashima Nalubega’s story
Nalubega Rashima is a 13-year-old pupil attending Omuto Emmaus Nursery and Primary School in Lugazi Municipality, Buikwe District. Living in the village of Kizigo, Rashima faces a daily physical challenge, walking 2 to 3 kilometers on foot to and from school, which sometimes causes her to arrive late during bad weather.
Raised by her mother in a very large household of 13 members who rely on peasant farming, Rashima experiences severe financial strain. The family struggles with providing daily meals, paying school fees, and meeting basic needs. Despite these heavy burdens, she enjoys reading story books and maintains a strong ambition to become a medical doctor. Sponsorship will provide Rashima with essential learning supplies, food security, and educational stability.
