A True Story
Living as an orphan is usually associated with too many difficulties. The situation becomes worse when one looses both parents,either due to war or HIV/AIDS.
Many children begin to room streets in towns,causing alot of problems to the general population as many of them turn into thieves.
Many of such children have been killed in the streets of Lira town as they try to steal things inorder to survive.
Education is something that has become history to such children and there are usually not many helping hands since some people take many of them are hard to love due to their bad behaviours.
Even when some people offer to take care of such orphans, many times they are mistreated and even not sent to school.
Costa apio, one of the total orphans is a victim of circumstance-she lost both of her parents to the deadly HIV virus and they were only left in the hands of guadians who seem not to be caring.
Costa had to sit home for more than a year because the person who was taking care of her and her twin sister and two younger brother could not give the support needed. a school volunteered and she was able to finish ordinary level education.
She could no longer continue with studies as she had to start taking care of her younger brothers and the twin sister.
A good samaritan helped pay for her to join nursery teachers' college. She now earns 80.000 Uganda shillings which she uses to take care of her sisters' education and her two brothers-however,the 80.000shs is not even enough as she has to provide food and accommodation as well.
Children like these are quite many and suffering,sometimes unnoticed. As a community,we feel it is our duty to give a helping hand to such hurting children.
We were able to link costa to an institution that decided to offer her partial scholarship so she might do a diploma course. However, her two brothers and sister continue to suffer with no one to pay their education.
KEFRAMA College wants to come into existance so that it can try to identify and help those it can,by providing free secondary school education and also giving scholarstic materials to those hurting children who are still in primary schools.
