Because Sarah was very sick and weak, she was relocated to Entebbe by Pastor Winfred Owino who started to look after her while seeking help from other people. When we met her, she was six years old, weighed only 19 kilograms, was suffering from malaria and skin rashes from head to toe, and had never been to school.
Support Improves Health and Education
