Meet Nathan: A Young Boy with Big Dreams and a Heart for Justice

Six-year-old Nathan is a lively and determined boy from Ogul Village in Gulu, northern Uganda. He lives with his mother, Jackline, and two brothers in a small but close-knit family. Life has not been easy for Nathan and his family, but his dreams remain strong—he hopes to become a lawyer one day, standing up for the rights of the disadvantaged people in his community.

Nathan's mother works hard as a farmer, spending long hours in the fields to provide for her children. Despite her tireless efforts, she struggles to meet the basic needs of her family, including Nathan’s education. His school attendance has been irregular, as the costs of school fees, books, and uniforms are often beyond their reach.

But Nathan’s hope is unwavering. Even though he cannot attend school regularly, he is committed to learning. He enjoys reading books whenever he can and loves playing football with his friends. His teachers have seen his potential, and with a little support, Nathan is ready to excel academically.

Nathan's favorite foods are rice, meat, and beans—delicious meals that are sometimes hard to come by. But he remains cheerful and full of energy, always looking for ways to keep his mind active, whether through reading or playing outside with his brothers.

Despite the challenges he faces, Nathan has big dreams. Becoming a lawyer isn’t just a job to him—it’s a way to help others, to give back to his community, and to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves. He believes that with education, he can make this dream a reality.
