Patrick is a cheerful and friendly boy who lives with his parents in one of the villages that form Tigwilizane community in Luangwa District of Zambia. Patrick has one sister and three brothers. His parents are peasant farmers who grow maize in mainly for home consumption and most of the times the yields are very low such that it only lasts for a few months before it runs out of the storage barn. This is attributed to poor rainfall pattern as the area is in a valley coupled with poor farming methods, climate change and partial drought. The money generated per annum is less than $300 which is barely enough for them to meet their basic needs. Patrick is not yet in school as she is still young. His parents wish for Patrick is to be educated and be able to support his family. He enjoys playing with mud toys. We are hopeful that your assistance through sponsorship will help secure Patricks education as well as his future.
