Meet Bridget

Hi, I’m Bridget!
​
At 13 years old, my parents passed away and left me and my brother as orphans. We were very poor, and my brother had to drop out of school to provide for us. He began working and would bring back food for us, which I would then cook. I would only attend school occasionally because I wasn’t able to purchase school supplies necessary to continue my schooling.

I’ve noticed a big change in my life since receiving support from Global Village Connect. I sleep better and eat better, and I have more energy to concentrate on my schoolwork.

Through Global Village Connect I received a school scholarship and a goat, and I am now able to attend school and help provide for myself and my brother. The goat helps me pay for food, the scholarship covers my supplies, and the farm Global Village Connect started at Buyanga Primary School allows me to have lunch every day.

I’m very happy to be at school, and I’ve noticed a big change in my life since receiving support from Global Village Connect. I sleep better and eat better, and I have more energy to concentrate on my schoolwork. I am really happy with my life at school, and very grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given. My favorite subjects are English and Science, and I’m excelling in both.

I want to become a doctor one day. I hope to use my skills to help the children in my community and make a difference in their lives.
