My Story
Sumaya’s parents divorced when she was still an infant. Soon thereafter, Sumaya was abandoned by her mother, an HIV-positive prostitute in Busia Town Council. Although Sumaya’s father is still alive, he has remarried, moved to a different district and is unable to care for Sumaya. Sumaya’s aunt tried to support her but could not provide the most basic necessities of life.
Sumaya and her brother, Ashiraf, are now under the full care of New Hope.
