Kiryagana Mathew – Uganda

Born in March 2017, Kiryagana—lovingly called Mathew—is now in Grade 3 (2025). A cheerful and bright boy, he dreams of becoming a doctor to heal the sick and serve his community. The second of five children, his kindness shines in caring for animals and his joy in soccer and dancing. Despite struggles, he stays curious, happy, and eager to learn.

Challenges Kiryagana Faces
Mathew’s road to learning is hard. His family lives in poverty and cannot pay for school fees or supplies. Many days, they survive on only one meal, making study difficult. He also lacks simple needs like a bag, shoes, and uniform. These barriers endanger his dream of becoming a doctor. Still, Mathew holds on to hope and remains determined to succeed.
