Latavia Nagawa

Latavia is a spunky, social girl who adores school and works hard to earn good grades.  She is joyful and bright, and never hesitates to run over to our van to greet us, take our hands, and lead us around, introducing us to people and showing us her classroom and home.  She excels in English, and is quite fluent and talkative.  Her teachers say that she is bold!  Latavia is a single orphan, as her father has passed away.  Both Latavia and her mother are HIV positive and are both struggle to stay healthy.  Latavia's mother is a determined woman (we see where Latavia gets her drive for life!) and even though she is weakened by her sickness, she is asking for the opportunity to work and provide for her children.  

Mother's Vegetable Stand Project is now FULLY Funded!!

Latavia's mother, Jalia, asked for the opportunity to work to support her family.  She researched work options and proposed a plan to build and run a roadside fruit and vegetable stand.  These types of small businesses are very common in Uganda, and as Latavia's family lives near a large main road, we are excited to be able to help support Jalia in her desire to work.  

Thank you to all of the donors who have made this possible!!

Maria Nantume

TRUE Africa volunteers found Maria on a home visit to a neighboring child.  She was four years old and very wary of adults.  We discovered that she was being chased away by neighbors in the village for fear that her condition was contagious.  She was also not allowed to attend school because of her skin condition.  TRUE Team members immediately knew that finding an educational sponsor for Maria would be crucial, to keep her as a valued part of the village and give her a chance at a successful future. After seeking medical advice, we were able to determine that she had a skin pigmentation disorder called Vitiligo which is NOT infectious.  When a sponsor was found for Maria's education, TRUE Africa visited the local school.  They presented a letter describing Maria's condition to the principal and explained that Maria was NOT infectious and should be admitted to school...and she was!!  

Maria is now a happy and successful little girl!  She adores her teachers, who say that she has a talent for mathematical concepts.  She is now able to enjoy socializing with the other children at school and her village. Maria especially loves singing and dancing.   Her Vitiligo causes itching, but through her sponsor, she receives all medications to keep her healthy.  Maria would like to become a nurse!
