About Irasubiza Catherine

In the quiet village of Bitare, nestled in the rolling hills of Kisoro, Uganda, lives a little girl with a big heart and even bigger dreams. Irasubiza Catherine, a bright-eyed six-year-old, wakes up each morning eager to learn. She runs barefoot through the village, her laughter echoing as she plays with her friends. Running is her favorite thing to do—it makes her feel free, like nothing can stop her.

But there is something standing in her way: the simple yet harsh reality of poverty.

Catherine comes from a humble home, where her parents, Byamukama George and Niyonzima Vailet, work tirelessly as peasants to provide for their family. They love their children deeply, but their meager earnings barely cover the cost of food, let alone school fees, books, and supplies. Catherine has three older brothers, Isaac, Alex, and Deus, who understand what it means to struggle for an education. They’ve seen other children drop out, not because they lacked intelligence or ambition, but because they lacked opportunity.

Despite these challenges, Catherine has a chance. She is enrolled at Cornerstone Preparatory School, a small but dedicated institution near her village. Here, she is learning to read, write, and dream beyond the borders of Bitare. She loves school, not just for the lessons, but for the hope it gives her. Every morning, she runs to class, her heart pounding with excitement knowing that education is the key to a brighter future.

But she cannot do it alone.

A sponsorship could mean the difference between Catherine continuing her education or being forced to stay home. With your support, she will have access to tuition, school supplies, nutritious meals, and a chance to dream beyond the limitations of her circumstances. You won’t just be helping her stay in school; you’ll be shaping her future.

Catherine dreams of growing up to help her community, to be someone who can bring change. But for now, all she needs is a helping hand to stay in the classroom.
