Mbabazi’s Story

Mbabazi ran away from her mother (who now lives with a man who is not Mbabazi’s father and will not support her) because she was overworked, neglected, and not allowed to attend school. She now lives with her elderly grandmother who is typically unable to spare any extra for school fees. Together they struggle to earn enough money for basic necessities. 

Now a part of the PFP Juniors program, Mbabazi attends a highly ranked primary school. She has big dreams to become a doctor someday because she “wants to help sick people”. While PFP supports her with education and medical expenses, Mbabazi continues to live with her grandmother, who she loves very much. Her grandma works hand in hand with PFP and is proud to play a role in supporting Mbabazi in being able to attend school.
