Patricia is the last born child in her family. She lives with her parents and siblings in the Eastern part of Uganda. Patricia loves running, rope skipping and enjoys washing plates and sweeping the compound. The main source of income in the family is subsistence farming where they grow crops for food consumption and some for sale where they earn approximately 17 US dollars for survival in the whole month. This source of income is unreliable and inadequate because in some seasons earning is so hard due to unpredictable weather patterns hence difficulties in meeting the family needs and provision of school fees is hard and even feeding is difficult especially when bad weather affects crops hence making the family skip some meals hence nutritional deficiencies for the whole family. Patricia and her family would therefore be so happy and appreciative if any kind of support is extended towards them. This will also help Patricia and the family to participate in project activities and also enable them raises their income levels.
