Molly - Education & Welfare Support
MOLLY
A targeted intervention addressing urgent medical needs, extreme vulnerability, and long-term access to education.
HER STORY
A targeted intervention addressing urgent medical needs, extreme vulnerability, and long-term access to education.
Molly, a two-year-old child from the Batwa community in Kisoro, was identified in severe distress following a serious injury and subsequent abandonment. She had sustained a fractured tibia approximately three weeks earlier during a domestic incident, but had received no medical treatment.
After the incident, Molly was left in the care of extended family members who lacked the financial capacity to access healthcare or provide adequate food and basic support. As a result, she was experiencing significant pain, malnutrition, and poor hygiene, placing her at high risk of both immediate and long-term health complications.
Immediate intervention was coordinated to address her urgent medical needs, including transport to a local healthcare provider where her injury was assessed and treated. At the same time, essential food supplies and welfare support were provided to stabilise her condition.
Since February 2025, ongoing support has been delivered through trusted local partners to improve Molly’s health, living conditions, and long-term wellbeing, including access to education and continued care.

OUTCOME & IMPACT.
Molly’s fractured leg healed successfully, preventing what could have resulted in long-term disability. Early intervention significantly reduced her pain and immediate health risks, while ongoing support has led to noticeable improvements in her nutrition, hygiene, and overall wellbeing.
With consistent care and increased stability in her living conditions, Molly is now in a much safer and more supported environment. Importantly, she has transitioned into a boarding school, providing her with access to education and a structured setting that supports her long-term development.
Together, these outcomes have significantly reduced her vulnerability and created a pathway toward improved health, safety, and future opportunity.
