Ronald lives with her mother and four siblings in Lubumba village, Rakai district.

Ronald’s parents separated in 2019 when he was soon sitting his Primary Leaving Examination and there, his struggle for school fees started because it was his father who used to pay for him school fees but from the time he separated with the mother he has not been to support and Ronald says he does not where the father is.

Ronald says some times he has been supported by some teachers at school who help him with personal requirements and for some holidays he does work at school such as cleaning, sewing uniforms among others to get money to buy requirements and paying some school fees.

Ronald has been challenged with sicknesses which he thinks it is because of too much work he always does to support himself and for two holidays he has not been able to go back to school to work during holidays due to his health status. He continues to say it makes him cry when he has parents and no one is able to support him.

Ronald’s dream is to become a teacher and he desires so much to help the needy, elderly people and young children. He also yearns to help his mother who is in a bad life.
