“My Family Was The Poorest In Our Village, Going Days Without Food, But One Decision Turned Our Life Around,” Rose Shares

My name is Rose, and I’m from Mbale, Uganda. For many years, my family was known as the poorest in our village. We lived in a small grass-thatched hut, and each day was a struggle. There were times we went without food for two or three days, surviving only on water or whatever little help a neighbor could offer. Watching my children sleep on empty stomachs was heartbreaking every night.
