Early this year, Christine (not her real name), aged 17, was staying with her brother in Kampala when she was impregnated by a bread seller.
Christine says that later, the boyfriend asked her to abort but she refused, which prompted him to disappear.
Christine* kept her pregnancy while helping her brother supply chapatti to his clients in Kisenyi Park, Arua Park, and Namirembe Road, during it's early days.
"Later, I had to run back to the village in Buyende because I didn't want my brother to discover. Right now, I am staying with my mother, but after giving birth, I want to go back to school because I learnt my lesson," she says.
Christine narrates that she was being paid Shs10,000 per day while working in Kampala and was saving the money to be able to pay her fees but the pregnancy has delayed her return to school.
