Peter Emorut, born on July 20, 1999, is a 25-year-old young man who is determined to make a difference in the world through his pursuit of a certificate in nursing at St. Eliza School of Nursing and Midwifery. His decision to choose nursing as his career path is deeply rooted in his life experiences and a strong desire to give back to his community.

Peter hails from the village of Kyabirwa in Jinja City, Uganda, where he has faced numerous challenges from a very young age. His parents, unfortunately, neglected their parental responsibilities, leaving him in the care of his aunt. In a family of seven children, Peter is the 5th born. Tragically, all of his siblings, except for the youngest, were unable to complete their education due to financial constraints and chose early marriage as an alternative. Peter’s aunt, a small-scale local farmer who primarily grows maize and beans has always been his primary caregiver. 

Witnessing the struggles of his family and the healthcare disparities in his community, Peter found his inspiration to become a nurse. He is deeply motivated to provide care, support, and hope to those who, like him, have faced adversity. His journey into nursing is not just a career choice but a lifelong commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others. With his determination, Peter Emorut aspires to break the cycle of limited opportunities for himself and his family, while also uplifting those in his community through his nursing career. Your sponsorship will enable Peter to fulfill his dreams and make a meaningful difference in the world of healthcare.
