Obwaagazi Family Sponsorship Program

Lukia

Lukia lives together with her grandmother and siblings in Danida. They live in a permanent house with a cement floor, which they rent. They have two rooms, one they use for the girls and one for the boys. There is no electricity or running water, but they do have a tap right in front of the house. They boil the water, so they have access to safe drinking water and the family also have a latrine. The main source of income is selling potatoes. Since Lukia is going to school, the grandmother has more time to run her business and provide daily meals for the family.

​

Lukia has made huge progress since starting school and she is very popular in her neighbourhood.
