A Struggle for Survival — The Story of Mr. Sentongo and His Family

In a small village in Uganda, Mr. Sentongo and his wife Ms. Jane strive each day to keep their family afloat. They live with their children in a single, unfinished house built from sand—walls standing but barely sheltering them from the wind, rain, and cold. Life for the family is a daily battle.

Despite the challenges they face, Mr. Sentongo and his wife remain hopeful. They are determined to provide for their children and ensure they do not lose sight of a brighter future.

Supporting Irene’s Fight for a Better Tomorrow

In the humble village of Kitto, Kayunga, lives a woman whose story reflects strength, resilience, and unconditional love. Ms. Nabiryo Irene, a 40-year-old widow and mother of three boys, has braved unimaginable challenges — yet she refuses to give up. To support her children, Irene makes handmade mats from local materials. With determination and creativity, she crafts about four mats every month. Each mat sells for UGX 10,000, yet the cost of materials alone reaches UGX 11,000 — meaning she unknowingly works at a loss. But Irene continues, driven by a mother’s love and responsibility.

Supporting Irene’s Fight for a Better Tomorrow

In 2015, Irene lost her beloved husband, leaving her as the sole provider for their family. The burden was even heavier because she is a woman living with disability. What many would consider impossible, she has turned into her everyday reality. After her husband’s passing, Irene sold their only piece of productive land just to build a small structure that now shelters her family. The tiny compound leaves no room for farming, making daily survival a constant struggle. Their meals are often limited to posho and doodo (greens) — not by choice, but because it’s all they can afford. With sadness, Irene shared that her youngest son has never tasted sugar. Even basic necessities like clothing are a challenge; the children work odd jobs to buy their own clothes.

Let us stand with Ms. Irene. we can bring hope, dignity, and a better future to her family. A single act of kindness could change their lives forever.
