Ugiraneza's mother died at a young age. Although her father is still alive she has no one taking care of her. She only gets to eat one small meal a day. She has no clothes to wear and is stuck wearing the same clothes day and night.



Levis Niyukuri, age 11
Sponsorship #0007
As the oldest boy among his siblings, Levis would look for different ways to support his younger brothers after his mother died. He would go out and look for coals that people had dropped in the street and then try to resell them in order to get money for food for him and his siblings.



Christian Ndikumana, age 8
Sponsorship #0009
After Christian's mother died, he and his siblings were left in the care of his grandmother who neglected them. Christian and his siblings could go several days without food, and when we found him, he was unfortunately suffering from malnutrition.
