Biography

Kelvin is a hardworking and outgoing young man. Sadly he does not know his dad and his mom passed away several years ago leaving him in the hands of his very old grandmother. She struggles with their small garden to keep food on the table and is not able to take care of his educational needs. Through elementary school, Kelvin depended upon a small local church for his education but this year he started high school and the fees are quite a bit higher so the church is not able to cater for them. He is a very intelligent young man and was accepted to one of the best schools in his home county. Kelvin believes with a hand to hold, he can overcome the challenges he faces and become a man of God who is a beacon of light to the next generation. Would you stand with him?

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.
