Support Joviah
Anena Jovia Laura
My name is Anena Jovia Loura, I am a 14-year-old girl residing in Pece, Gulu, in Northern Uganda. My mom, Anet is a survivor of the war and now working as a street vendor, selling vegetables by the roadside. I have a younger sister and a brother. Our father left us and now our mother is alone, providing for us with no support from him. I completed my primary schooling and would like to start High School this year 2025, but my mom doesn’t have the money.
Everyone says I am a bright girl. I enjoy English, especially reading and writing poetry and creating stories, and when I grow up I wants to study law and become a human rights lawyer and one day a Judge, but if I don’t get the money for school fees I will have no choice but to join my mom selling vegetables on the roadside and delivering boiled maize around town, walking many miles a day, carrying a heavy load of boiled corn on my head.
