Mukambo lives with his parents, four siblings and grandparents in a mud hut in Kyaka II refugee camp. His father is the sole breadwinner, while his mother stays at home to care for the children and his sick grandmother, whose treatment is difficult and expensive. The father does not have a permanent job, he just looks for odd jobs. It is difficult for him to provide food, medicine and school fees for the children for the family. That is why some of the children have had to drop out of public school.  

One of the children has been identified by teachers as an exceptionally bright student. When he had been absent from school for a long time they visited the family to assess the situation. They advised the family to put the children in the YIDA school, which is the only school in the area with a sponsorship program to support the children's education.

The YIDA school also accepted one of the children without tuition fees. However, thanks to the HelpKids program, we will help all five children to be able to return to school.
