Tom is a charming boy who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana county. He lives with his mother and two brothers. They live in a palm thatched mud house in a communal land. they fetch water from a community hand pump whose water is saline. They family depends on charcoal burning and selling activity. His mother also practices casual work as a livelihood supplementation for the family income. However, the annual income derived from this economic activity is below 360 US dollars which is not enough to support family basic needs. His mother therefore decided to approach the office seeking for assistance. Tom is enrolled in an ECD centre where he is in pre primary 1 this year. He enjoys singing games and colouring sessions. His favourite game is football and running with tyre at home. His ambition is to become a doctor when he grows up. While at home, Tom helps his parents in carrying our light household chores such as fetching water and collecting firewood. Your support will bring a lasting change to his life and the family at large.
