Hi, I'm Julius
I'm a boy, 4 years old and live in Uganda.
Julius is the 4th child at home, staying with his mother who is a widow. The father passed on and left the children with mother. She is a peasant farmer in the village of Wakivule who does cultivation on a small piece of land. The mother has no source of income to support her with four children. If she is to cultivate a big piece of land, she needs to hire and a lot of money which she does not have. She struggles to earn a living and support the children through their education and other areas of life like nutrition, health, clothing, beddings among many others. The children love school but they cannot attend regularly due to school fees and other school requirements. They are sent home on a daily basis yet the grands cannot afford.
