14-year-old Annet is a primary six student at Nyaka primary school who lives with her aunt and three siblings. Annet lost both of her parents when she was just four years old to HIV/AIDS. Her aunt worried about having the resources needed to pay for the school fees of four children. One Sunday after church service, the priest told Annet’s aunt about Nyaka Founder and CEO, Jackson Kaguri, and Nyaka’s mission to help orphaned children. Annet was recruited to Nyaka schools where she quickly joined the Anti-AIDS club in order to help educate the community about HIV/AIDs. The Anti-AIDs club educates the community about the causes and preventions of HIV/AIDs during community outreach and radio programs using drama, songs, poems and riddles. Radio programs almost reach the whole of western Uganda.
Thanks to generous donors, like you, Annet will be able to fulfill her dreams of becoming a doctor while also selflessly making a difference in the community by educating the community on the very virus that took her parents' lives.
