A Mother's Unshakeable Love

Image
           This Mother's Day, we want to celebrate an extraordinary woman, Mummy Abigail. Her story is a testament to the power of love and resilience. When Abigail was born with a disability, her father abandoned them. Mummy Abigail was left alone, struggling to make ends meet. But she refused to give up. With the help of her grandmother and the Essanyu Lyamukadde Wange Foundation, she found a way to provide for Abigail. Despite the challenges, Mummy Abigail is working hard to give Abigail a happy life. She encourages Abigail to embrace her disability and use it as motivation to succeed. However, life had more challenges in store. When Mummy Abigail's second child's father also abandoned them, she didn't let that stop her. With her grandmother's support, she continues to persevere, determined to give her children a better life. Mummy Abigail's story is a reminder that mothers like her are the backbone of our communities. They face incredible obstacles, yet they

Abigail's Story

  Abigail, a resilient five-year-old, entered this world with a disability that her father couldn't bear to accept. His abandonment left Abigail and her mother alone in the harsh realities of extreme poverty, their only refuge being a small tomato vending shop in Nakawuka Katalemwa. Despite her mother's tireless efforts, the weight of poverty made it impossible to afford Abigail's school fees and the customised shoes crucial for her mobility.
