Ikiring Jenifer is a young orphan from Bukabaale village, one of the islands in Buvuma District. She lost both parents at the age of three and later suffered a head injury in an accident that still causes her headaches. After years of caring for her siblings, a kind aunt, Akurut Betty, took her in. Though Jenifer now attends school, her aunt struggles to meet the family’s basic needs and school fees. Like many in Bukabaale, they depend on fishing and small-scale farming, but poverty makes life difficult and education out of reach for many children.
