Stella Apio
Age: 13 years
Gender: Female
Location: Northern Uganda/Boke
Sponsorship Need: Boarding
Stella has been a part of the EWT sponsorship program since 2016, and is now in Primary 7 at RIMA School. Her social worker has described her as “sweet, kind, and nurturing.” She is always helping friends and can rarely be found without a smile. She is in the top-middle of her class and works hard in school.
Stella has experienced much pain and loss in her short life. At age three, her mother died of an unknown illness. As her father was absent, Stella and her brother went to live with their grandmother upon their mother’s death. Soon after this, the grandmother also died, leaving them alone. A well-wishing neighbor took them in for a short time, but, as she was barely able to care for her own children, she was unable to sustain them. Finally, Stella and her brother moved into their auntie’s home, but this, too, has been an insecure environment. The auntie has eleven children of her own, with no permanent house or land.
Because of her unstable home situation and because she will soon be transitioning to secondary school, it is time for Stella to enter boarding school. By sponsoring Stella’s boarding, you will enable Stella to grow and reach for her God-given potential in life. We have been praying for a sponsor who would step forward so Stella could continue her education, and we praise God for you, as you are the answer to those prayers.
Robina needs a boarding sponsor for $35/month.
