George Byantuyo, one of the guardians explains that Namboira has been a very active girl who would wake up early morning to prepare breakfast for the rest of the family.
“We took on Namboira as our house help after realizing how she was struggling to fend for her life along the streets of Kamuli town and she has been a proactive young girl,” he said.
