Biography

Daniel is a friendly and hardworking young boy. He is in grade 8 at Iia Ituni junior secondary school, Muema’s life has been defined by loss, pain, and the strength to get back up again. His mother tragically passed away in 2014 due to complications during childbirth, leaving Dianiel and his four siblings without their primary caregiver. Just a year later in 2015, their father died in a road accident. Daniel  and his siblings found themselves in a heartbreaking situation, forced to cope with the emotional trauma of losing both parents while trying to survive without the financial support they had once provided. They leave with their aunt, who became their guardian. She  is not financially stable and has limited resources to care for her late sister’s children as well as her own. Daniel is very well mannered and we believe he has the potential to overcome the challenges he faces and to become a blessing in his generation.
