Molly was born sometime in 1963, but is not sure exactly when.

Molly moved to Jinja to escape from the LRA rebel group and is barbarity.  The LRA came to her house one day on a raiding mission.  Molly fled to the bush.  The LRA took the villagers' livestock.  Two of her uncles were killed and one was abducted.  She assumes he is dead.

Molly has been in Jinja since 1980.  She has seven remaining children - one child passed away from measles.

While Molly is HIV negative, she still feels its effects.  Her brother passed away from HIV and her sister-in-law subsequently abandoned her children for another man.  She sends what little she can to help her brother's children.

She wishes that god would give her money so that she could build a house for her children.  She's not sure where she would like the house.  Jinja has the better education systemm but Kitgum is her motherland
