Hafusa’s mama, Sophia, was orphaned as a teenager and raped while working as a young maid in a rich residence of Bbunga. Sophia is now a member of Kids First mother’s group where she is receiving counseling and learning to make crafts so she can afford to feed Hafusa. Sophia was extremely happy when her daughter received sponsorship and that her kind sponsor agreed to board her, which keeps Hafusa safe from the many dangers of slum living.
When school is not in session, however, they face challenges, including dirty water, sewage everywhere, and no safe area for children to play. During the rainy season their house floods and to try to maintain safety they stack sacks, which is little help as water floods their tiny one-room home, sometimes at times four feet high. Sophia is anxious for school to resume post-Covid, as her daughter will again be safe and have a place to do her homework. She is excited about the KFU property acquisition because she will, in the case of heavy rains, she will have a refuge for herself and Hafusa.
