Parent/Guardian: Nyagasage Eliza - mother

Child's situation:

Ndikubwimana Shadrack žije so svojou mamou a ďalšími štyrmi sprodencami v utečeneckej osade Kyaka II.

Eliza is a single mother, she has no home of her own and has to rent a place to live and is unable to pay for it, so she moves from house to house and is hounded by landlords for debt...

Children are fleeing their homes because they are starving and permanently ill due to poor nutrition. All the children suffer from Tungiasis (a festering rash caused by the sand flea), so their neighbours are wary of them and do not want to help them. 

The family's only income is a monthly aid allocation (WFP - World Food Programme) of 12,000 UGX, (3.50€/month/person). The mother and children find casual work for food, often not having even one meal a day.

Shadrack má už 6 rokov a mal by začať chodiť do školy. Po návštevách tímu z našej školy YIDA mama prisľúbila, že ak sa pre deti nájde sponzor, pošle ich do školy, aby sa naučili aspoň čítať a písať…
