Kalege Shafiq is a 7-year-old boy from Bukabaale Village, Uganda. He lives with his mother and brother Hassan. At the start of 2025, Shafiq’s father tragically drowned in the lake—he was the family’s sole provider.
Since then, Shafiq’s mother has struggled to raise her children alone by buying and selling silver fish. Despite her efforts, Shafiq has never been to school. She recently heard about Foundation Christian Schools, known for supporting vulnerable children, and brought him for registration—hoping he can finally receive an education and support.
Raising two boys on her own is difficult. Some days, business is slow or there’s no silver fish around Bukabaale, forcing her to travel to nearby islands at a high cost. Still, she remains hopeful for a better future for Shafiq.
