Biography

Hussein is a cute little boy. Sadly he has known much pain and poverty in his young life. His father passed away when he was still a todler and his mom has since then been struggling to take care of her three children on her own. In the village, it is difficult to get any kind of steady work so she washes people's clothes, farms for them or does whatever she can to survive. She barely manages to keep food on the table and to clothe her kids let alone think of their education. Huseein should be joining school soon but may not be able to if there is no one to assist them. We believe God has a special plan for this young man and we pray you will be the one who reaches out to help him overcome the challenges facing him.
