Nalwadda Betty

Nalwadda Betty is a girl of 15 years.  She is in Primary 6 at Calvary Chapel Christian School and she was elected as the Head Girl of the school this year, equivalent to Student Body President.

She lost both of her parents to HIV/AIDS and she never got a chance to experience true parental love. Like many other unfortunate orphans, Betty has moved from place to place looking for a place to call home. Throughout her life she has been abused in so many unspeakable ways. She has grown up in fear of the future and those that surround her because of her past. Just prior to joining Asifiwe Child Care, she was forced to sell her body in order to buy food and clothes for herself.  She was encouraged to do so by the people she was staying with because they  would not provide for her.

But she has not given up on herself. She has found that God loves her and that there is hope for the future. As she has joined the Asifiwe family, we have seen her change into a joyful and friendly girl with hope for the future. She wants to become a doctor when she grows up.

The Love of Christ is changing Betty from the inside out.
