After her mother died when she was very young, Pircal Jane found herself lost and without direction. With her father and stepmother disinterested in her wellbeing and education, Jane was often left to fend for herself. This same responsibility and ambition has aided her well through working at KK Uganda and she is now independently supporting herself and her family.
DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE
“I hope to return to school so I can complete my education and start a business of my own.”
FAVORITE THING ABOUT NORTHERN UGANDA
“I love that Uganda has so much beautiful, fruitful land and the people are very hospitable.”
MESSAGE TO KK intl.
“Thank you for all you have done and please keep helping the vulnerable people of Northern Uganda.”

Piracel Jane, thank you so much for the work you do. I received my hat (The Betty, in black) just a few moments ago. It is so soft, I cannot wait to wear it! Your work is incredibly beautiful, you are so very talented. This sounds silly, but, as I held my hat, I just prayed over you and your family. It is so cool that in a small way, we are able to connect. I pray that you and your family will be blessed with good health, joy and opportunities. But more than those things, I pray that you will find your love, joy, and life in Jesus Christ, who has already chosen to love you. Thank you again, my sister.
