MIrIAM'S STORY:

Like many of the children in Uganda, Miriam's parents died of AIDS when she was very young. As a little girl she faced frequent beatings while being forced to wash clothes and babysit. By age 4 Miriam often fled to the streets to escape the abuse and commuted between home and the streets for nearly 3 years. On the streets Miriam developed a close friendship with Sarah Adak, who would become one of the first girls SGU would ever take in. Once Sarah was off the streets, she was able to help Uncle Fred find Miriam and bring her to the Children's Village.

Today Miriam lives at the Children's Village where she’s experienced huge transformation. She excels in school and is always willing to help the housemothers. At the village she is often taking care of the younger girls and can never be spotted without a smile on her face. Miriam loves to sing and dance and is often found leading worship and prayers nightly at the village. Her love for math and English has led to her dream of becoming an accountant in the future.
