Nangiro’s dream is to wear a school uniform again. What keeps Nangiro going is her dream. “I want to go back to school. I want to be a teacher,” she says, her eyes brightening at the thought of a classroom, a uniform, and a life beyond hunger.

Mark’s dream is to build beds of his own. “I want to learn carpentry,” he says, his face lighting up as he imagines tools in his hands. “If I can make beds, maybe I’ll sleep on one someday.”

Susan’s dream is to return to the classroom. At 14, Susan (name changed) knows too well the loneliness of growing up without a family. “I don’t want riches,” she says softly. “Just a desk, a pen, and a chance.”

Longole’s dream is to build a business of her own. At 15, Longole (name changed) is learning to survive in ways no child should. She sleeps beneath an abandoned taxi in Katwe, her bedding nothing more than old sacks gathered from the streets. .
