“I Went From Sleeping on Streets to Owning a Mansion and a Benz” – Patrick Shares His Journey

My name is Patrick, and I come from Mbale, a busy town in Eastern Uganda. For most of my childhood, life was extremely hard. I grew up on the streets after losing both parents at a young age. I had no home and survived by begging for food and sleeping on shop verandas. Many nights I went hungry, and countless days I wished my life would change.
