Masindi’s best female student in 2019 Uganda Certificate of education (UCE) loses hope in continuing with her studies because of lack of support from her parents.

Evelyn Atulinda, scored 15 aggregates in her eight best subjects from Ikoba Girls Secondary located in Bwijanga Sub County Bujenje county Masindi district.

She got two in English, three in Mathematics, one in Chemistry, one in Agriculture, three in Biology and two in History. She also got two in Geography, five in computer and one in commerce.

She got a first grade in primary seven at Kyangamwoyo primary school in Kimengo Sub County Masindi district with eight aggregates. When she joined Ikoba Girls secondary school, she was given a bursary because of her good performance.

According to Atulinda, she wants to do PCB/Sub math in ‘A’ level such that she can become a medical Doctor. She says she has been supported by Ikoba Girls secondary school right from senior one to senior four since her parents are finically constrained.

She adds that she wants to continue with her studies but she cannot continue since her father is bed ridden. She also notes that her father cannot support himself because is suffering from hepatitis B and back ache.

Atulinda is calling upon the public and the well-wishers` to come out and help her in her studies such that she can become a responsible citizen.

Yesterday, the Ikoba girls secondary school’s chaplain Reverend, Fred Wamani, brought Atulinda to the district chairman’s office such that they can forge a way forward of helping her.

Speaking to journalist,  Wamani explained that they have been supporting  her since she joined ‘O’ level adding that they brought her to the office of the district chairman  such that it can provide a helping hand.

Responding to the child’s concern, Cosmas Byaruhanga the LCV chairperson Masindi district said that the district will get all ways and give her little support urging the entire community to come out and give her necessary support.

He also added that as district authorities they are going to devise means and and forge a way on how they will be helping students with such cases.
