Impact Story: Nakuti Medina, COB Graduate

Madina was recruited into the Children of Bududa (COB) sponsorship program as a young teenager in 2006. At that time, she was in primary 6 at a local school in Bududa and was an orphan, living with her mother and other siblings. Life was tough for Madina, but from a young age, she took every chance she had to get ahead. When it came time for her to go to secondary school, Madina was one of the first young girls in the COB program to attend boarding school.

Upon graduation, she desperately wanted to study nursing. With her sponsor's financial support, Madina attended the Iganga School of Nursing and succeeded again. The COB program continued to support her through her education and licensing.

Madina has returned to Bududa, securing a nurse position in her home district. She is a wife, mother of three children, and a full-time nurse. Moreover, Madina is giving back to her beloved Bududa community as the school nurse for the Children of Bududa Program. Every Saturday, she sees to the health of our COB students and coordinates care for household members who need medical help.
