Background

Fellisha is the eldest of seven children. Both of her parents are alive; however, her father has another family and is rarely supports Fellisha and her family. He also provides very little financial support towards their needs.

Fellisha lives in Katanga Slum with her grandmother. When her sponsorship ended, she had to leave Kampala and move to the village to stay with relatives because her grandmother could no longer afford to pay for her education in the city.

Fellisha was fortunate to be re-sponsored in 2025, but unfortunately, her sponsorship ended again in 2026. In the village, she attends a very under-resourced school and frequently misses classes because her mother is unable to raise the required school fees. As a result, her education has been significantly disrupted.

Fellisha is hoping for another opportunity to receive sponsorship so that she can return to Kampala, rejoin her former school and continue her education. With the support of a new sponsor, she will have the opportunity to catch up on the studies she has missed and, with consistent attendance and support, progress to the next class in the coming year.

Fellisha is eagerly waiting for a new sponsor who can give her the opportunity to return to school, continue her education and build a brighter future.
