Hi, I'm Elizabeth
I'm a girl, 4 years old and live in Uganda.
Elizabeth stays with her grandmother in Masunkwe village. The biological parents abandoned the child at birth with the grandmother. The mother was still a young girl and the boy too could not take good care/ responsibility of the child. Elizabeth is the first born among the 5 siblings at home. The grandmother is a widow woman who is a peasant farmer. She cultivates only food for consumption at home on a small piece of land. Apart from that, she has many other siblings to take care of and yet no source of income. As such, they have no clear source of income to support Elizabeth and her siblings especially in the areas of education, health, beddings, nutrition, clothing and other home basics like soap, sugar and others. Many of the children are home due to lack of school fees and requirements. Thus, she asks for support towards her grandchildren at home from Holt Uganda for the betterment of their future.
