My name is James Ssekabira, and I live with my wife, Allen, in Mukono District, Uganda. We have three children — two boys and a girl. Like most Ugandan parents, we strongly believe in the value of education. For years, we did everything possible to keep our children in school, even if it meant sacrificing our own needs.
