Due to poverty, the child was unable to access food, accommodation. He was forced to run away to the streets to look for food.

He is currently under rehabilitation at the centre and is to be resettled soon to his home. He is seeking for support to be able to continue with his studies.

Uganda is a landlocked country located in East Africa, often called the "Pearl of Africa." A diverse landscape of high-plateau mountains, lush tropical forests, and vast lakes—including Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile—gives Uganda a tropical climate with varied rainfall. While much of the land is fertile, the country face challenges with deforestation and soil erosion. Uganda is one of the youngest and fastest-growing populations in the world.

Most Ugandans are subsistence farmers living in rural areas. While English is the official language and Swahili is widely used, Luganda is the most common of the many indigenous languages. Christianity is the majority religion, with a significant Muslim minority and various traditional African beliefs practiced alongside.
