My Story

Esther’s mother left the family in January of 2008, and she and her sisters and brother were left with her father, who was unable to care for them. The neighbors brought her and her siblings some food and water so they could survive. The children were not bathing and were very malnourished.

All four children and their father became infected with jiggers  and the neighbors became concerned and contacted the local government authority. They were taken to a health center where the jiggers were removed.  The children were de-wormed and given food and proper clothing.

The local government contacted the local newspaper who came and took pictures of Esther and her siblings. The Director of New Hope, Ken Mulago, read the article in the newspaper about the children. Ken wrote to the newspaper who published his letter, and then the local authorities contacted Ken about the children. Esther and her siblings were admitted to New Hope.

Esther is now under our full care. With your help we can continue to provide Esther with all her nutritional, medical and educational needs and greatly improve her quality of life.
