Mark is a cheerful young boy who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana County. He is raised by both parents and lives together with his one brother and one sister. They live in a palm thatched mud hut in their communal land. The family draws their water in a community bore hole whose water is saline hence not safe for child consumption. His mother is the primary caregiver of the family who is a housewife. His father practices small scale farming for economical sustenance. However, the annual income derived from this economic activity is below 360US dollars which is not enough to sustain the family. His mother therefore decided to approach the office seeking for assistance. Mark is not enrolled in school since he has not attained school going age. He likes playing with improvised toy cars with his friends. Since he is still young, Mark has not been assigned any house chores. His mother would like him to become a teacher when he grows up. Your support will bring a lasting change to his life.
