I am a widow of 3 children and am aged 45 but also

looking after 5 children of my late 2 brothers who died of Aids and these children are between the ages of 8 - 16years so they are still school going age not forgetting that mine are also school going age.

I am looking for education sponsorship of at least these 5 children because i have come to a stand still whereby my income is too low to cater for 8 children now without a side income. All good people of God over there please help me to educate these children.

God Bless you

Did you ask your government for help? Free education plus a carers support, that’s big money.
What’s your government?

We need to pay money still even if the government is sponsoring

Then rethink your spending habits.
You’re not getting money from the internet for free; if you want more money then you would have to earn it. Like getting a job for example, single parents work and raise kids, you can do it too. 16 year olds can work too by the way, with a limited day but yes they can. Alternatively they can take care of their younger siblings while you’re at work.

if some of them are 16 they can start working themselves. you could encourage the kids to find creative ways to make money! :)

What happened to the brothers’ wives? Are they dead too? Can they help raising their own children?

My two brothers whose children am raising died in 2006 and 2009 respectively. The wife of the one who died in 2006 died 3 months before the husband and this one of 2009 had died earlier on in 2008 before her husband passed on in 2009. My country is Uganda in East Africa

In Uganda children as young as 12 years old can be officially employed to do light-type jobs. 16 year olds can do almost everything except hazardous jobs and ones involved with operating machinery.
Just checked the laws.
