Mark enjoys skipping rope and collecting water in small containers with his friends at the nearby river, especially during the dry season when water levels are low. Mark and his family reside in the Eastern part of Uganda, together with his parents and siblings. Unfortunately, the region where Mark resides lacks access to clean water, and they frequently face flooding due to their proximity to the slopes of Mount Elgon. The area experiences heavy rainfall, leading to floods that often result in crop destruction. To sustain the family, Marks parents engage in farming, striving to provide for his and his siblings basic needs such as clothing, food, and education. Despite his admiration for school, Mark has not yet been able to enroll in kindergarten due to these challenging circumstances. Considering the hardships faced by Mark and his family, it is crucial to extend support to them, enabling him to live a better life.
