About Dominic
Born: 2006
My name is Dominic and I live in Northern Uganda. My country is rich in beauty and culture but has suffered from an unstable economy and civil war for decades. My father died when I was only three years-old. Soon after, my mother fell ill with HIV/AIDS. Because of her illness, she cannot work to provide for me. I love to play soccer and want to be a soldier one day.

Uganda is called the ‘Pearl of Africa’ for its lush landscapes, unique tribal cultures, magnificence and biodiversity. Uganda struggled after gaining its independence in the 60’s and suffered from decades of civil and economic unrest. By the mid 80’s Uganda was left with hundreds of thousands of lost lives from tribal warfare, rebel attacks and the AIDS epidemic. The devastating effects upon Ugandan families cannot be overstated. The end result is a country where the fastest growing segment of society is children. Although it is a slow climb back to its previous glory, the Ugandan culture is strong and the sense of family and community is unrivaled. God is at work in and through this incredible country and people.
