Samwel is a hardworkingboy who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana county. He is raised by his mother and father. Samwel has two brothers and one sister. They live in a palm thatched mud house in a communal land. They fetch water from a community hand pump whose water is saline hence not safe for the childs consumption as it predisposes him to water borne disease. The mother is the breadwinner of the family who depends on casual labor. The family also practices charcoal selling as a livelihood supplementation activity. However, the annual income is below 360 US dollars which is not enough to sustain family basic needs. His mother therefore decided to approach the office for assistance. Samwel is enrolled in a nearby school and he likes participating in singing games. His favorite game is playing with tyres, hide seek and football with his friends. His mother would like him to become a pilot when he grows up. While at home, Samwel helps his mother to look after his little brother, fetching water and collecting firewood. Your support will bring a lasting change to his life.
