Martha and family hail from North Eastern part of Uganda. She is a playful and friendly girl. She lives with both her parents and two siblings. She has not started schooling yet because she is still young. They sleep in a grass thatched hut made of mud walls and wattle. The hut leaks during heavy rains and this requires constant repairs which is very expensive due to scarcity of thatching grass. The family survives through subsistence farming as their major source of livelihood. However, the yield is low due to poor cultivation methods used, soil texture and un predictable weather and this affects inflow of income to support the family acquire other basic needs. On average, the family earns less than US 11 dollars per month. Your kind gesture to sponsor this youngster will enable her grow into an enterprising child.
