Meet Nyangoma Jamida

Nyangoma Jamida is a 13-year-old student at Bishop Magambo Primary School in Fort Portal District. She comes from a humble family of six, where both parents rely on seasonal and casual labor on other people's farms to survive. Her mother is a housewife who joins her husband in doing odd jobs to earn a meager income that barely covers the family's basic needs.

Challenges to Education

Education is a daily struggle for Jamida. Her family often finds it difficult to raise school fees and purchase necessary scholastic materials. Like many girls in her community, she sometimes misses school due to a lack of sanitary pads, a barrier that continues to undermine the education of countless young girls in rural areas. Jamida also endures a physically demanding routine just to access her education, walking a long distance to school each day along dusty roads that turn muddy and slippery during the rainy season.

Determination and Potential

Despite these challenges, Jamida remains committed to her education and shows great potential. She is determined to overcome the odds and pursue her dreams, demonstrating resilience and hope for a better future.

How You Can Help

The cost of keeping Jamida in school, including tuition and essential school supplies, is UGX 500,000 (approximately USD 138) per term—an amount often out of reach for her struggling family. With your support, Jamida could not only continue her education but also thrive and eventually uplift her family and community. Her story is a reminder of the daily battles many children face just to access something as basic and essential as education.
