My story

“My father works in LEAD Uganda farm, while my mother works in a flower farm nearby. We stay in a small house of my father’s former employer in Katuba / Mukono District. I have four siblings, three brothers and one sister and I am the first born.

I studied in a nearby local school and my father rode me on his bicycle everyday to school . When his bike got spoiled, I walked. I envied childfen who wenty to good schools. I dreamed of joining a better school because chances of being becoming what I wanted – a doctor – are slim in the local school I was in.

Thanks to L.E.A.D Uganda, I am joining an elite school – St. John Bosco Katende. I believe my future is brighter.
