Shanita is a stubborn young girl who lives in central Uganda with her family. Shanita likes doing house hold chores like sweeping and mopping the house. The whereabouts of her father and mother is not known therefore this child lives with her grandparents, Aunties and uncles. Her grandfather is a motorcyclist and her grandmother is engaged in farming. The house they live in is a small semi-permanent house one roomed in a slummy area with few torn bedding on the floor. During the heavy rainy days, the water floods the house weakening the house more and more. Shanita has dreams of becoming a doctor in future but the capability of her grandparents are low to make this dream come true. Sometimes when they do not earn any money Shanita is forced to sleep in an empty stomach with one or no meal that day. Even if they earn the money is usually not enough to sustain the family with the basic necessities like basic education, proper shelter, medical care, clothing and food. We hope a well-wisher can support her so that she can be able to better support her family.
