Age: 6 | Class: Primary 1
Rob is the youngest in his family—a sweet and gentle 6-year-old boy whose life began with deep loss. His mother sadly passed away while giving birth to him, and since that moment, life has been filled with hardship. Rob and his older brother were placed in foster care when they were very young, but unfortunately, the arrangement fell apart. They now live in a child-led household, where their 16-year-old sister does her best to care for them, despite having left school herself in Primary 1.
His two other siblings, aged 13 and 11, are now attending school with the help of the YES Uganda sponsorship program. Rob is still too young to understand all the challenges around him—he just longs for safety, care, and the chance to learn like his brother and sister. With support from YES Uganda, Rob could be given the stability, love, and education he deserves.
