Ryan O. 1290

Grade Male: Kindergarten - 8th Gr.

School Grade 4

Ryan is the fifth born in a family of six children, 5 girls and two boys. He was born in 2011 in Yokia village, Mfangano North Location. His father, who was the sole breadwinner, was a revenue collector before his death.  After his death, the County Council employed his mother as a casual worker, also collecting revenue. However, she did not collect enough and was let go. Today she collects and sells firewood in addition to some other casual labor on occasion. Providing all three meals for her large family and paying for her children’s education has been a great challenge. She sometimes depends on well-wishers for help.

Ryan’s elder sister, Fatuma, is training as a teacher at Asumbi Teachers Training college. The second born, Linet, dropped out of school in grade 5 and later got married. The third born, Syprose, is learning at Kakiimba Secondary school in grade 9. The fourth born, Esther, is Learning at Masisi Primary school in grade 4. Henry, the fifth born, is learning at TIPs Academy in KG 3, while the last born, Millicent, is only three months old.

Due to the level of vulnerability this family faces, Ryan was admitted to GGCC in January of 2018 as an orphaned and vulnerable child in KG1. At GGCC, he will now learn without being sent home from school for levies. He is so excited and loves the school environment. He will now take all the three meals, which was not always possible while at home.

Ryan would like to work hard to become a doctor when he grows up. He likes playing football and other athletics with his peers.
