Obed A.

Birthday: 10/27/2012

Location: Kiburara, Uganda

Obed’s father died of unknown causes in 2016. His mother subsequently remarried and abandoned him, which left him in the care of his elderly grandmother. She loves Obed and does what she can to provide for his basic needs, but it is becoming increasingly difficult for her as she ages. Thankfully, Obed is in good health and has been able to remain in school. He is currently in second grade at Hope Community School.

Obed lives in a village near Kiburara, Uganda.  Runyankore and Rukiga are the main languages spoken in this area.  Kiburara is also home to Hope Community School, established by Covenant Mercies in 2020.
