In January, 2009, Sanga travelled from Kampala where he worked as an accountant in a top bank to go and visit his mother in his home village in Western Uganda. On his way home, Sanga met his 12 year old sister carrying a huge bundle of firewood on her head. She had missed school that day and walked for 10 kilometers to gather firewood for his family. When his sister saw him, she started crying and told him that she was tired of missing school to gather wood. This troubled Sanga so much because he paid school fees for his sister and wanted her to get an education. Sanga immediately decided to quit his secure job with just $500 in savings to totally focus on finding a solution to overdependence on fuel-wood in Uganda so that poor girls like his sister could stay in school.
