Obwaagazi Child Sponsorship Program

Waiswa

Waiswa comes from an abusive family who neglected him as a young child. Waiswa was found by a social worker in October 2013 in Mutai village and was brought to an orphanage for care. We are unsure of his age (due to the neglect) but believe he is around 10 years old. Waiswa is diagnosed with Hunter Syndrome, which has impaired his mobility. He is extremely bright and clever and is able to converse in English very well. He follows all of the classroom rules and activities and likes to read and play the drum.
