Biography

Ritah comes from the village of Balo. Her parents have both died and she was living with an aunt who could not take proper care of her. Ritah came into our Lira Children’s Home in February 2010.

Ritah is described as a timid, well-behaved and happy, young girl. She plays well with others and enjoys playing ball games. Ritah’s favorite color is red and her favorite subject in school is reading. When she grows up, Ritah hopes to be a nurse. She helps out in her home by washing dishes and carrying water from the village well.

Ritah is now in an environment where she is safe and secure. Please join us in praying for physical and spiritual growth, and blessings in Ritah’s life.
