His parents do their best to make ends meet but they, without adequate education and opportunities, are left struggling to put food on the table, let alone take care of their children’s educational needs. Jacob is currently in grade 7 at local Primary School and believes with the help of God, he can overcome the poverty facing him to become all God has created him to be. Would you be the one to give him that opportunity?
