The impact of poverty on education in Uganda remains one of the biggest challenges. A lost opportunity for education is not only harmful for a child, but has wide-reaching repercussions for their children and communities. The teenage pregnancy rate of 25% in Uganda is worrying due to lack of education, high prevalence of poverty, lack of school fees, peer pressure, forced marriage, which normally results into deaths
At an early age of between 15-17 parents force their girls to get married due to poverty which causes lack of school fees. When there’s a man who can give them a few goats and some little money for survival they sell their girls away without thinking about their children’s future and the repercussions of early marriage. Wonderfuly who miss the opportunity to go to school end up resulting into thieves, rapists, violent fathers and husbands which in return affects their children and their communities.
At Hope for Every Heart, we know that the best gift you can ever give to your child is education, anyone who takes a child to school does the greatest investment of life. We want to see these children after a few years with a smile on their faces because they have achieved their dreams and have become responsible citizens of this country and the world at large. If you are there and you have always wanted to become a world changer here is an opportunity to sponsor a child because these children are going to change the world.
Allen is so thankful to the sponsorship, she is achieving to the betterment and success in life. But that isn’t how her journey started out. In the community where Allen lives, most families don’t have enough to eat
and children often don’t have another meal and they also miss school due to lack of school fees. We know that girls and boys living in poverty often struggle to learn because they don’t have the support they need to do their best.
May God bless you as you join Hope For Every Heart Ministries to change another child’ life like Allen.
