  Description

  My name is Peter,a Ugandan aged 35 years and married with with three children.
  
  I was abandoned by my mother( 15 years old)at two months and brought up single handedly by my grandmother up to the age of five years,as the search for the whereabouts of my mother was going on and who my father was since my mother had not disclosed it to anyone.
  
  Two years later,my grandmother found out that my father's family was a few kilometres from her home and without hesitation took me and directed me to a home where she told me that i belonged but without her reaching there.
  
  While at the new home,I was badly mistreated and also survived being poisoned by my stepmother whom i found in this family.
  I was left with no option but to go to the street and started living there. One day a church worker found me and picked me.He later resettled me to my uncle.
  
  Having been raised without parents but good Samaritans is a reason for starting up to support and Care for vulnerable children and young mothers.
