Nayamwenge Faisi, a 66-year-old widow in rural Uganda, is building a better future for her family through farming, business training, and support from Give Us Wings programs, while her granddaughter thrives in school through their sponsorship initiative.

Emuria and his grandparents were enrolled in our Family to Family program in 2016. He was about 12. The family was struggling and had no money for school fees, so he rarely attended his local school.
