My inspiration stems from my upbringing. Raised by a single mother who became pregnant with me when she was in her primary five, I never had the opportunity to truly know my father, who passed away when I was just four. His absence,due to his involvement with multiple women, is a common story for many young girls in Uganda who get impregnated by irresponsible men, most of whom have families elsewhere.

As I grew older, my mother shared her struggles and experiences with me, leaving a lasting impact on my thoughts and guiding me to contemplate my life's purpose. Upon my return home in 2022-2023, I delved into research on teenage pregnancy, discovering that Uganda has the highest rates in sub-Saharan Africa. Saddened by the appalling situation of teenage pregnancy, I decided to come back home in August of last year to establish Healthy Teenage Moms Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting teenage mothers and young girls, empowering them to transform their lives and regain their dignity. This noble cause was deeply influenced by my mother’s story and feels like a true purpose to make a difference in the lives of those in need.

I am graduate of Business Studies; Social Work and possess a certificate in counselling. I am dedicated to facilitating positive change and progress in the lives of others. Sharing my aspirations with my mother filled her with immense joy, knowing that I am making a meaningful impact in the lives of teenage mothers and young girls.
