Jonah is the last born child in his family living with his family thus the grandfather, grandmother, father and sisters in the eastern part of Uganda. Jonah loves running and playing ball games with other children in the neighborhood. Jonah also enjoys fetching water and collecting firewood for the grandmother since the mother is not there. The family of Jonah depends on distilling local brew by the grandmother being the family bread winner because the father of Jonah is mentally unstable whereas the grandfather is very old and weak. This leaves the family of Jonah in a miserable state because the income his grandmother earns is approximately 10 US dollars a month. The income is inadequate and not reliable as the business makes big losses because some clients consume the waragi and fail to pay. The grandmother struggles to meet the needs of Jonah. Jonah is therefore at risk of dropping out of school and joining the business of his grandmother to help make ends meet. This can even result into Jonah being defiled. Any consideration of Johan for sponsorship will be of great importance to his life and family.
