This brave, resilient, and intelligent young girl is called Angel Blessings Atuhaire. She is 14 years old and currently a Primary Seven pupil at Kengoma Day Primary School in Kabale District.
I have just spoken to her and her father, Mr. Nfitumukiza Moses, a boda boda rider in Kabale.
Blessings has consistently excelled in her academics and has never performed below the third position in her class.
Her father shared that he is not comfortable with her riding herself to school, but the circumstances have left him with no alternative as he leaves home too early to drop the girl at school . He was all emotional on the phone in disbelief if this was true or a dream.
I discussed with both of them the possibility of moving her to a boarding school next term or waiting until she joins secondary school. They both agreed that transitioning next term would be the best option, especially since she has not yet registered for PLE at her current school.
I advised the father to identify a good boarding primary school within their locality and connect me to the school administration so that the sponsor, @SheilahGashumba, can take it up from there.
I have shared all the details with Sheilah. 🙏
Our primary focus is on works specifically designed for children and women. We seek to nurture a narrative of resistance through the lens of housing and education.
