Oliver Nakitanda’s Story
At five years of age, Oliver became part of the CARITAS For Children family when our location coordinator for Africa, came across her in a remote village in Uganda, wandering along the road near a field where she had been working. A tiny little girl with a hoe bigger than herself. Undernourished, dressed in tatters, all that she knew was working under the sun as she had been doing since she was able to walk. One of five children of a young, widowed mother with no benefit of education, Oliver’s future looked bleak.
