Umaru lives with both parents in a small farming community close to a cattle rearing settlement. They dwell in a five bedroom adobe mud bricks family house with zinc roof and unpaved dirt floors with no toilet facility and proper ventilation. His father cultivates rice and other foodstuffs like yams and cassava for home consumption while the mother engages in backyard vegetable gardening to take assist in the upkeep of the home. He sleeps with his grandmother on a locally made wooden bed with a grass mattress on it which lack adequate beddings. Umaru is a promising child and attending in one of the community schools in his village. His class teacher loves him very much due to his outstanding performance in class. His happiest moment is when the family relaxes in the evening while his uncle engages him in studying what he learnt in school. Sponsoring Umaru will make a remarkable difference in his life.
