About Nfitundinda Ruthia

In the quiet village of Nyarurambi in Kisoro, Uganda, a young girl named Nfitundinda Ruthia dreams of a brighter future. At just 13 years old, Ruthia is a beacon of hope for her family and community. She lives with her parents, Harakurama Ponsiano and Agence Hellena, along with her four siblings, Nyiransenga Pamela, Nyiramugisha Sharone, Cyingeneye Immaculate, and Hashakimana Andrew. Together, they form a close-knit family, bound by love, resilience, and a shared struggle against poverty.

Ruthia is a student at Cornerstone Preparatory School, a place where she eagerly absorbs knowledge, determined to one day change her family’s circumstances. Education is her greatest hope, but it is not without its challenges. Like many children in rural Uganda, Ruthia faces difficulties that threaten her ability to stay in school.

Limited financial resources mean that her parents often struggle to afford school fees, supplies, and other necessities. Yet, despite these hardships, Ruthia remains committed to her education, waking up each morning with a spirit full of hope and a heart full of dreams.

Beyond her academics, Ruthia has a passion for netball. Whenever she finds a free moment, she joins her friends on the village field, where their laughter and excitement echo across the hills of Kisoro. Playing netball is more than just a pastime for her—it is an escape, a moment of joy amid life’s challenges, and a source of confidence that keeps her striving for more.

Though Ruthia is not an orphan, her family's financial situation makes it difficult for her to consistently attend school. The burden of providing for five children weighs heavily on her parents, and without external support, Ruthia’s education, and the opportunities it could bring, hangs in the balance.

Sponsoring Ruthia means more than just covering her school fees; it means giving her a chance to break the cycle of poverty. It means ensuring she has the books, uniforms, and meals needed to focus on her studies. It means nurturing her dreams and showing her that she is not alone in her journey.

With your support, Ruthia can continue her education without fear of being sent home due to unpaid fees. She can grow into a young woman who not only transforms her own life but also inspires and uplifts her community. Your sponsorship will not only help Ruthia stay in school, it will give her hope, a future, and the opportunity to make a difference.
