Marjorie (left) with a friend – Uganda
Marjorie Nakakade is 8 years old and lives in the Chibaga district of Kampala with her two brothers Marvin and Tony. Since her mother died she has been cared for mostly by her aunt and grandmother. Marjorie is in the P5 class at Kyaggwe Road Primary School, where her elder brother used to be head boy, She has been doing well in her studies, especially in math, and when she leaves school she wants to work in a bank to help people save money. However, at present she cannot go to classes, as her father is very ill, has lost his job as a bus conductor and is unable to pay her school fees. Sitting at home she tries to keep up with her studies but misses her friends. Marjorie urgently needs sponsorship to return to school, continue her studies, take the exams she needs to pass to be promoted to the next class, and be amongst her friends.
