My story

Cynthia Lakareber, a determined first-year law student at Uganda Christian University, is courageously navigating through life's challenges. Raised in a single-parent household, Cynthia, along with her two brothers, is under the loving care of her mother, a dedicated classroom teacher at a local elementary school in Northern Uganda. Despite the hardships faced by families in Northern Uganda due to two decades of wars, Cynthia's mother has been a beacon of resilience, striving to provide for her children amidst difficult circumstances. It is this backdrop that has necessitated Cynthia's inclusion in our program. Cynthia's health is robust, with no significant medical history to note, a testament to her resilience and the care provided by her devoted mother. This young law student's story is one of determination and hope, reflecting the spirit of many in Northern Uganda.
