Yahaya Waswa

Boy, 5 years old

Quick facts

My story

Yahaya lives with both his parents, Sirajji Waswa and Judith Nambafu, and his older sister in Namakwekwe, Bugisu Cell, Mbale. His father carries materials on building sites and his mother washes clothes for neighbors — between them, there is rarely enough to cover the family's basic needs. His older sister is not in school. Yahaya has not yet started school either. His parents are present and trying. What they need is someone in their corner.
