Overview
Biography
Philip is a friendly and welcoming young boy. He is currently in grade 3 at a local Primary School where he is working hard and doing his best. Philip stays at home with his parents and three siblings. Because of a lack of training as well as opportunity, neither of his parents have been able to get a consistent job and are therefore never sure where their children’s school fees or clothing will come from. We believe that with a hand to hold, Philip can face and overcome the challenges he faces to become a man of God in his community and society.
