Life Before the Program
Proscovia’s life was a relentless battle against poverty and despair. As a widow and mother of eight, she struggled to provide for her family while living in a crumbling, overcrowded room with 12 relatives. Basic needs,food, bedding, shelter, were luxuries beyond reach, turning survival into a daily fight. Her house, made of mud and rusted iron sheets, stood near a sewage stream, where the overpowering stench of an overflowing latrine made eating unbearable. During heavy rains, her home was nearly destroyed, its walls bulging, its roof leaking, forcing her children to endure wet and unsafe conditions. COVID made things worse, heightening their suffering despite emergency food relief efforts. Each visit from helpers revealed heartbreaking scenes,children sitting quietly, lost in thought, fearing what tomorrow might bring.
