Patricia is the first born out of four children. She lives with her mother and three siblings (two brothers and one sister) in a two bedroomed house; in Kasankala trading center, Rakai district.

Her father died in a motor accident while Patricia was in P.6. The mother operates a hair salon from which she gets money to take care of the children and work on other needs.

Patricia’s paternal uncle pays her school fees and the mother meets her personal needs and school requirements, however, Patricia says that sometimes she feels burdening the uncle who also has his own children. When she is at home, she works with her mother in the salon since she has acquired some hairdressing skills from school.

She desires to be a nurse but has some fears that lack of school fees might hinder her dream career.
