A Beautiful story from Edward Muguluma, School Director at Kisa Primary School in Nansana Uganda. Part of the Kisa School Tailoring Project funded by Richmond Rotary.
In Nansana village, is where you find a resilient struggling mother named Sanyu nakasenge aged 53 years old who has been a resident for more than 18 years now. With three little ones Charles Luvumu (7), Divine Naluyombya (13) and Malcom Luzinda (10) all relying on her tender care, life’s burdens have often weighed heavy upon her shoulders with no one to help her out after she divorced her husband due to family mistreatment after the birth of their last born, Charles. So when hardship knocked relentlessly on her door, she turned to the beacon of hope in her community—Kisa Foundation Uganda.
Embraced by the warmth of the support by Richmond Rotary Club, Sanyu embarked on a journey of empowerment. Through the unwavering guidance at Kisa Foundation Uganda, she honed her skills in tailoring where she could stitch her dreams into reality with every thread she wove. Four months flew by and Sanyu had emerged not only a skilled seamstress but also a beacon of determination.
With a sewing machine gifted to her, Sanyu has transformed the humble veranda of her rented home into a sanctuary of craftsmanship where she has been living for a quite long time now.
Amidst the good and bad times with her beautiful children, she had stitched together a future brimming with promise.
Though the weight of school fees for her kids is very heavy on her, Sanyu can at least cater for her children’s feeding on a daily through working on her veranda with her sewing machine.
With tearful gratitude, she has on and on whispered her thanks to Richmond Rotary Club through Kisa foundation Uganda, for they had not only dressed her in skills but also adorned her life with a new found hope.
