Biography

Collins is a friendly and hardworking young man. Sadly his father passed away in 2016, leaving his mom to take care of their three children on her own. She does her best but with a lack of resources in the community and her lack of education, it is very difficult to find sustainable work to keep up with her children's daily needs as well as their school fees. Collins is currently in grade 9 at a good boys high school in their area. He believes with a hand to hold, he can face his current challenges and overcome them in order to serve the Lord in his generation. Would you believe with him?
