Linet Akinyi and her two siblings are under the care of her widowed mother. Her father drowned in the lake while fishing shortly before she was born. They have no running water or electricity and fetch water from the lake for cleaning and cooking.

Linet Akinyi was born on April 12th, 2020. She will join Pre-Primary 1 in January 2025 after attending a nursery school in her neighborhood. Linet has an older sister and a stepsister who are already in the CGA program. Linet and her siblings are under the care of her widowed mother. Her father drowned in the Lake while fishing shortly before she was born. Her relatively young mother is a fishmonger and sells groceries in addition to support her young family. They live in a rental, two-room house with dirt floor about an hour’s walk from CGA. They have no running water or electricity and fetch water from the lake for cleaning and cooking. They use solar lighting and wood/charcoal for cooking. Linet sleeps on a mattress and a mat spread on the floor. They have a temporary toilet within their compound. Linet is a jovial little girl, and we hope she will do well in CGA.
