John is 11 years old and currently in Primary 2. He is the second-born in a family of four children.
When we first met John, he was collecting and selling plastic bottles to help his mother provide food for the family. His mother has been struggling with health problems since she was involved in an accident that injured her leg and left her unable to work. His father is also ill and had gone to the village, leaving the family facing even greater challenges.
Because the family could not afford school fees, John was unable to attend school.
Through our support, John was given the opportunity to return to school. Today, he is back in the classroom and making good progress in his education.
John’s story reminds us that every child deserves an opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future, regardless of their family’s circumstances.
