Patience Maria Kobusingye   RK154

Born: 2nd February 2008

Grade: Senior Two (S2)

Kabuga HOPE Vocational Secondary School

Patience was living with her parents in Uganda, Kamwenge district. All her parents are alive and she has five siblings. Her family faces extreme poverty, because her parents only source of income is when they plough the neighbors garden by hand. She has been in school and a well-wisher was paying her fees, but apparently is no longer able to, which left Patience’s education at a standstill. Patience was constantly harassed by her father, who denounced her as his. She has suffered psychological torture. He has been sending her away, because he no longer wants her to be part of his household. In addition, she has often been confronted by him, who on several occasions wants to sleep with her. Because of her worrying situation, she was rescued and now resides at Kitokye House of Hope under RWC. She is grateful because she has found a place she calls home. Amidst such a life of struggle, Patience dreams to become a successful journalist in future.

You can sponsor Patience for $60 per month.

ABOUT YOUR NEW SPONSORSHIP

To sponsor a child or class, complete the form above with your contact details, naming the child or class, and their number.

We will be in touch by email and forward a form for filling in your payment details and other information. You can scan, fill in and email back to our office, or take a photo on your phone and send to us.

Soon, you will receive an introductory letter from your selected child or class / teacher from Africa, and a beautiful profile card of your child/class.

African children love receiving letters from you, as well as a photo of your family. These can be scanned and emailed to our office for forwarding to our partner in Africa who will print and deliver your letter.

Sponsored children can be visited in country depending on their local environment at the time, your visa, or permit to enter a refugee settlement and arrangements with our African project partner.

Please note: every African child wants to be a doctor or a lawyer, a pilot or an engineer! Your sponsorship may not get them that far, however, they will have a brighter future, whether they complete secondary, tertiary or a vocational course.

It is good to be aware that sometimes children leave the region and are lost from our program, others are forbidden to continue study, some are forced into early marriage and occasionally some die. We hope that your sponsoring experience will be a long and rewarding one.

Enquiries? Please call in to Jambo Sana, 72 Main Rd, Nairne, or phone our office Wednesday to Friday 0881880398 or email hope@ahi.org.au

Thankyou for Caring!
