Biography

Joshua is a friendly, hardworking and disciplined young boy. He has been staying with his mother after he lost his father in 2011. He is the last born of five siblings meaning his mom has a lot on her plate. His mother is very hard-working but not fully employed and doesn’t have a reliable and dependable source of income that can sustain the education of her son Joshua. Joshua has just finished grade 11 at a local Secondary School. He believes with a hand to hold, he can overcome the challenges he faces at home and become a man of God who has a positive impact on his family and the community. Would you be the one to give him this opportunity?

About Joshua's Home: Makueni

Makueni County is a part of Southeastern Kenya generally known as Ukambani. The climate is usually hot and dry making farming a challenge and food supplies short. The main diet in these areas is corn products, beans, some fruits and green vegetables such as kale when the weather permits. The main language spoken is Kikamba and the primary religion is Christianity though there is still much traditional superstition and a recent influx of Islam.
