Biography

Maxwell is a brilliant and happy-looking young boy. Since his mother passed away in 2020, he has been living with his aunt, who is a casual laborer. Maxwell has three siblings who are also under the care of his aunt. His aunt does not have a reliable/dependable source of income, and therefore, she struggles to take care of the four children. In the extended family, nobody is concerned about the children. Maxwell is a total orphan. Maxwell is currently in 4 at a local  Primary School. He is working hard to do his best so as to help his siblings and the entire community with the help of God.

About Maxwell'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.
