Date of Birth: 13th-04-2009.

This is Andrew Kayiira, one of the children in our care who was orphaned. He is longing to join a High/Secondary school and be able to break the cycle of poverty.
Andrew's parents died of HIV/AIDs when he was three years old, and he was placed under the care of his elderly maternal grandmother, with whom we have been taking care of him. Unfortunately, Andrew was born with HIV/AIDS, and he is always on medication.
Years later, his grandmother also died and left him without a relative, not even anyone to look after him. After the death of all his close relatives, Andrew started staying alone in a deserted house, and he started fending for himself. He did all sorts of casual jobs in the village, including grazing cattle for the community, providing labour on construction sites and farms to get what to eat and meet his day-to-day needs. Eventually, he dropped out of school because he could not balance between looking for food, school fees and other necessities and attending school.
When his former school, Kako Primary School, had not seen him for a long time, they started a search and found him grazing cattle for food. They found him struggling to cope. So, the headteacher referred Andrew to Youth With A Vision for support, and with our limited resources, we started supporting him.
And besides providing Andrew with counselling and care services, basic needs including food, clothing, and delivering medicines for him, we supported him to complete primary education last year. Andrew loves to be in school, and his dream is to become a teacher and help teach less privileged children who are struggling with school fees and other hardships. But he can't achieve his dream without you. He now wants to join a High/Secondary school, but he has nothing.
We would like to partner with whoever is willing to support Andrew to further his education and be able to reach his full potential.
