About Arinitwe Simeon

In the quiet village of Nyarurambi, nestled in the rolling hills of Kisoro, Uganda, a young boy named Arinitwe Simeon dreams of a brighter future. At just 10 years old, life has already presented him with challenges that many would find insurmountable. Simeon is a single orphan—his father, Buzukira Siras, passed away, leaving his mother, Nyirantemzimana Oliva, to shoulder the burden of raising him and his three siblings alone. As a peasant farmer, Oliva works tirelessly in the fields, yet her income barely covers the family's basic needs.

Despite these hardships, Simeon’s spirit remains unbroken. He is a lively boy with an infectious smile and a love for football and running. Every morning, he wakes up with enthusiasm, eager to attend Cornerstone Preparatory School, a small school established near his village to give children like him access to education. Here, he learns, plays, and dares to dream beyond the limitations of his circumstances.

Education is Simeon’s pathway to a better life. In school, he is determined and hardworking, but without financial support, his ability to continue his studies remains uncertain. His mother struggles to afford school fees, books, and even basic necessities like food and clothing. Yet, with the support of a kind sponsor, Simeon’s story can take a different turn.

Your sponsorship could provide Simeon with the opportunity to stay in school, receive proper nutrition, and have access to essential supplies. More than that, it would give him the encouragement to keep dreaming—to believe that his life can be different. Imagine the impact of your support: a young boy, once at the risk of losing his education, now thriving in school, playing football with his friends, and growing into a future leader of his community.

Simeon has the potential to break the cycle of poverty, but he cannot do it alone. He needs someone to stand with him, to invest in his education, and to give him the chance every child deserves. Could that person be you?

Join us in changing Simeon’s life. Sponsor him today and become a part of his journey toward a brighter future.
