VALENTINE NAFULA
Talau High School

Valentine Nafula’s is a 17 year old girl who is in form 3 in the above mentioned school. Valentine’s mother abandoned her when she was only 7 months old. She has been under the care of her frail grandmother. Up to now, the mother has never been seen or heard of her whereabouts.

We learned of Valentine’s case through the school administration of Talau High School, who contacted us as we had previously sponsored a student last year.

Valentine was supposed to be in form 3 this year, but she wasted the whole of last year being engaged in child labor in order to care for herself and her aged grandmother.
We enrolled her in form 2 this year 2024.

Valentine was a sight to behold when we met her. Mercy bought her a few dresses and basic necessities. This is a girl who had taken on a very enormous responsibility of taking care of her grandmother and herself.

She will join Mercy during the school holidays.
