School Provides More than Education for Annet

Children at Suubi School in Uganda receive instruction from their teacher

After losing her father several years ago,

a teenage girl named Annet watched her mother single-handedly work to provide for nine children. Her mother grows just enough food on a small plot of land in Uganda for her family to survive.

In these challenging circumstances, parents must often choose between providing food and sending their children to school.

Through the help of generous givers like you,

God has abundantly provided for Annet and her family. Not only has Annet been regularly able to attend school—but our ministry partners in Uganda at Global Hands of Hope have also provided Annet’s family with a house, a place they are pleased to call home.

In Annet’s words—

“Who knew or ever believed that I could be where I am today? God has been gracious.”

School is especially important for girls in Uganda;

It helps protect them from people who may cause harm. Child marriage, sexual abuse, and exploitation are ongoing concerns, especially for young girls. In rural areas, as many as 33% of girls are married by age 15, making child marriage and child pregnancy far too common. Two years of pandemic lockdowns—which kept children from attending school—only made these statistics worse.

Annet shares—

“My other siblings have attained only Grade 5 education, so I’m blessed to still be in school.”
