Urgent — Waiting 342 days
UG-0244-00144
Victor is a bright and energetic 13-year-old boy who lives with his grandmother and two younger siblings in a small village in Gulu District, northern Uganda. His parents passed away due to health complications, and his grandmother has been raising the children with limited resources.
Despite the challenges he faces, Victor is an enthusiastic learner who dreams of becoming a teacher one day. He loves drawing, playing football with his friends, and helping his grandmother tend to their small garden. At the NISS community centre, Victor participates in the after-school tutoring programme and the youth art club.
Victor lives in a region significantly affected by HIV/AIDS, which has left many children orphaned or in the care of elderly grandparents. Children in this area are at heightened risk of exploitation, child labour, and school dropout. Your sponsorship provides a critical safety net — ensuring Victor stays in school, receives regular health check-ups, and has access to a supportive community environment.

Gulu District
Northern Uganda
Gulu District in northern Uganda is a region recovering from decades of conflict. While significant progress has been made, many families still face extreme poverty, limited access to education, and the lasting effects of displacement.
If Victor isn't the right fit, consider sponsoring one of these children who are also eagerly waiting.
