Meet James


This is a picture of James. He is one of the students in Primary 1 at Children’s Sure House. On an average day, he wakes up, takes care of his chickens, washes himself, eats breakfast, walks 1 km to school, attends classes, then comes home, eats lunch, fetches water from the well, washes again, eats some supper, and goes to bed. He has lots of friends and enjoys playing volleyball.

James currently lives with his Aunt. Both of his parents recently died of AIDS. He is just one of the 850 orphans and vulnerable children that Children’s Sure House provides with free education and other social services. Social workers from the Dutch FBO, Livingstone, and Uganda Christian University have been working with CSH to assess the needs of the James and other children in Kiwangala who have been infected and affected by HIV and AIDS.
