Awori was born on December 30, 2001 and grew up in a remote village in eastern Uganda. Her father never accepted her or her mother. Eventually her mother married another man, but he also left them to be with another woman. Awori's mother struggled to provide food for her and her siblings and could not consistently provide school fees.
Awori was brought to the Immanuel Children's Home and began sponsorship in 2013. After schooling for several years, she completed Senior Four (high school). Awori began a course in Early Childhood Development to become a kindergarten teacher. During her first term it was discovered she was pregnant. She was removed from the school and from the True Impact program. This was at the beginning of the Covid lockdown in Uganda when schools were closed for almost two years.
During the lockdown, the father of Awori's baby left her. Awori went to live with her mother, but the mother was abusive to her. They contacted True Impact and asked to be let back into the program. After reconnecting to her faithful sponsor, Awori has returned to school and will complete her studies in December of 2022. Her message to young girls is to "always follow God’s ways, respect parents and their advise, always use chances once given."
