Mathew Wasswa and his sister Marcy Nakato are twins. They were born on May 29, 2011 to Andrew Kagisha and Anjala Nakato. The mother being unmarried and very young became very fearful about being the mother of twins. She left the babies with the father and disappeared from his life. Margret Anonya, the grandmother of the twins became their primary caregiver. Due to the amount of care needed for twins, the children were separated by placing them in two different family members households. This did not go very well. The children became so lonely for each other, that they became sickly. The grandmother saw what was happening, so she decided to bring them back together by taking them into her home on a temporary basis. The father visits the children but he is unable to be the provider or the caregiver. He requested that Prepare the Way Ministry take the twins into Hope Children's Home where they can be with their two young uncles. Mathew is a little shy, but is so smart, loving, and funny. The entire Hope Children's Home staff and children love both of the twins so much. Mathew has adjusted to his new home and family.
