Mukiiza Osbert (ID# 298)

Osbert stays with his mother who is HIV positive after his father died in 2006. It was discovered that when the father died, his mother was chased from her home. Having no land, she opted to go back to her parents’ place. However, her parents also died, so she was then rescued by her brother. He gave them a place to sleep, though the house is in a sorry state (almost falling on them). His mother depends on selling rice using loans to try to feed them. Osbert is passionate about school and hopes he will get a sponsor so he can continue. He also loves scouting and is a scout leader when at school.
