Hi, I'm Gideon
I'm a boy, 5 years old and live in Uganda.
Gideon stays with his grandmother in Kiwogo village. The biological parents of Gideon separated and the child was left with the grandmother. The grand cannot tell where the parents are and no support of any kind received. The grand is a peasant farmer who grows food crops for home consumption. She cannot afford to support the children given her age. She is old and weak to do hard labour to survive with her grand children. The grandmothers is not able to support him with basic needs like beddings, education, clothings, medication and nutritional service at home. However, the children love school but due to lack of school requirements they are still home.
