Joshua is a fast growing boy and the eldest child in the family who lives with parents and sibling in the Eastern part of Uganda along the slopes of MT Elgon. Joshua and family are Bamasaba by tribe and they speak Lumasaba as their local language. Joshua and family live in a temporary house made of adobe walls, metal roof and packed dirt for the floor that is too small to accommodate all of them. The parents carry out small scale farming for consumption and sell some to cater for the basic necessities. However due to poor soil textures and climatic changes of the region, the harvests are always too small to sustain the family.
