Teopista Nyawere

Teopista Nyawere, a dedicated P.7 pupil from Kasana in Mukono District, lives with her aunt who earns a minimal income working in people’s gardens. Their household of seven resides in a one-room mud house with a dirt floor and a grass roof, lacking bedding and basic supplies. Teopista walks two hours to school each day after feeding animals at home and often misses lunch. Though she consistently ranks in the top 10 in class, her education is disrupted by unpaid fees and missing essentials. UREEP strives to support hardworking children like Teopista in achieving their dreams—hers is to become a lawyer.
