A 17-year old girl who looks after a family of five people has appreciated the food which donors have sent them through Think Humanity.

Nazziwa Margret is a senior four candidate at St. Mark Secondary School. Besides attending school, she shoulders a burden of looking after her family.

She looks after a four-year old brother and her sisters who are ten and nine years old. Both of her parents are hospitalized at Hoima regional referral hospital where they have been admitted for over a year.

But even in a public hospital, the patients have to struggle to get the meals and some of the prescribed medicine.

Despite the family being in need of food, medication, clothes, water and other essentials, they lack any stable source of income.

Their survival depends on neigbours who occasionally give them food, but the neighbors are also not well to do.

Nazziwa said with gratitude, “Most days, we only eat supper. This food donation is a huge relief to my family and we are now assured of meals for the next eight weeks.”
