Edrine is in Primary 4 and is 11 years old. Eddy's father died last year, and his mother is in Kampala, Uganda's capitol city, selling charcoal. He and his siblings live in Itukulu village with their grandmother. The grandfather is also deceased. There are 10 people in this home, and the grandmother has meager resources. She cannot pay school fees for these children, and cannot provide separate beds for them.

Eddy helps at home by fetching water and doing farm work. He likes to play soccer.
