I had been helping to pay school fees for a couple of years for a little Ugandan girl called Sumaya and her sister. Without this assistance her single parent mother would never have been in a position to send them to school.

On 18 November 2020 Sumaya, then aged 7, was brutally raped and so badly injured that she later died in hospital.

Sumaya lived with her mother and sister in a single rented room in a poverty stricken district of Kampala.

The rapist is still at large and the reality is that he may never be brought to justice for this horrendous crime.

Sumaya's mother and her sister are not safe in their current home.

I am aiming by this Just Giving page to raise £7,000 to enable the family to relocate somewhere safer.

The family are being supported emotionally by local people, but what that support cannot provide is the funding of the relocation.

If we can raise the £7,000 target that will provide a secure home for life, removed from their current dangerous location.
