Success Stories

• After my father died there was no one who are supporting me, my mother has no job and my grandmother is elderly person, my mother could go and dig for people and she will be given a food items or small amount of money in order to put food on our table, sometimes she goes to the bush to collect wild fruits or vegetables, sometimes we may go without food for two days.

• Before HFL started, I really faced a lot of challenges and difficulties in my life because no one supports me since my husband died, my children were going through hardships of, no food, no emotional support, and spiritual support.

• Before HFL, I really encountered a lot of challenges due to the loss of my parents during war in South Sudan, life was hard, no food no school because my uncle had no enough, what he could do is to go and struggle for a day and wait for another day, so there was no change day by day.

• So my uncle decided to bring me to Uganda. Things were at least fair but then the cutting of ratio made life uneasy again.

• After the death of my father, my mother could go and work for the host community so the we may have food to eat, and a times we may not have food if my mother failed to get work due to large populations of refugees, and my mother could not able to support my school because of money.

• Before HFL life was very hard, no food to feed the kids from the time my husband died.

• There is no school fees to register kids to school due to lack of support since my husband was no more and it has become really hard to take up the responsibilities all alone by myself

• Before HFL started, life was really not easy at all in our side, after the death of my husband, we lost every support he was giving us, but in all that the worse was the outbreak of war in South Sudan which broke as totally, we became homeless when we ran into the bush for safety. From there I decided to see way out to reach to Uganda.

• No food, no school fees for my four children, secondly, since UN cut off support for refugees, things were hard at my side, I could go looking for what to do and get for a day to feed my children but no work, and I can't handle the responsibilities by myself alone, I could go look for where to dig for someone and get food to bring for the children.
