Nakalyowa K.

We first met Nakalyowa and her older sister when she was just five years old. Living near the town of Kakiri, Uganda, her family’s life had been marked by tragedy since she was three, following her father's accidental drowning. In a desperate attempt to provide, her mother turned to the sex trade, but still struggled to keep Nakalyowa in school—despite Nakalyowa’s deep dream of becoming a teacher.

Everything changed when our advocate, Farida, recommended the sisters for the Hope for Angels sponsorship program. Today, Nakalyowa is a thriving fifth-grader, fluent in English and known for her polite nature. Most importantly, both Nakalyowa and her mother have found faith in Christ. While Nakalyowa continues to face some health challenges, we are so grateful for her progress and her eager heart, which is currently full of questions in her Bible studies.
