It was all rosy for the family and life was as normal as day follows night until five years later, divorce of her parents struck! With a very weak government laws on domestic relations, Judith’s mom left with all her four siblings, leaving her dad behind who now lives alone in the home. Mr. Wilberforce speaks with fond memories of a happy family he once held together. He desired that his children would someday be a pillar in society and break the yoke of illiteracy in his family lineage. His hopes are now vested in Judith.
In a country where most village folks survive on less than a dollar per day, and no government free education, when the family budget is hard to meet, girls are usually the first victim to drop out of school and get married off. No effort in children ministry is more enduring or more stabilizing in our Christian faith than outreach to children. Perhaps Judith would be a victim of such circumstances if she hadn’t been rescued through Beyond Uganda. Our role is to provide a conducive environment so that every opportunity to grow and thrive can be fulfilled through every child that crosses our path. They start to see possibilities through their eyes, their ambitions are put into new perspectives, and eventually they start to aspire to conquer new horizons that otherwise would have eluded them.
Judith is on steady path at school and hopes someday she would be a human rights lawyer and focus her energy on uplifting the plight of a girl child in her community. Societal change can start at the very bottom with the life of one child. She aspires to make a better marriage and change her family tree as she believes that on certain occasions, God uses children instead of adults to accomplish strategic things in his kingdom.
Judith has dreams like any other child and now sees the hope to attain those dreams but she can’t do it alone. Beyond Uganda partners with 10 sponsors for each of our kids to ensure their immediate needs of food, clothing, shelter and school fees are met but also a future fund for University, life skills training and housing as she transitions to adulthood. Judith still needs 7 sponsors to ensure her future needs are met, would you consider being a part of Judith’s story and investing $20 a month to change her life and future?
