Background

Michael's parents separated when he was 4 years old. Michael now stays with his mother at his grandmother’s home because the mother can not afford house rent. His mother used to work as a cook at a nearby school but was left unemployed due to the closure of school because of Covid-19.

To be able to earn a living, Michael's mother is now hired as a casual laborer by digging on other people’s farms from which she earns a very small income which is not enough to take care of Michael's basics and also pay for his school fees. Before Covid-19, Michael used to go to a nearby small school but frequently missed school because his mother’ small income could not sustain him in school.

Michael is currently looking for a sponsor to support him attain a good and stable education so that he can have a bright future ahead and support his community.
