Benson is an intelligent young boy who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana County. He lives with both parents and two sisters. They live in a palm-thatched mud house on a communal land. The family fetches water from a river that is saline and not clean for human consumption thus pre-disposing the child of waterborne diseases. His mother is the breadwinner of the family who depends on firewood selling activity. However, the annual income derived from this economic activity is below 360 US dollars which is not enough to sustain the familys basic needs. His mother therefore decided to approach the office to seek further assistance.Benson is enrolled in school. His favorite activity is singing and spelling. Benson likes playing hide and seek with his friends. His ambition is to become an engineer when he grows up. Benson helps his parents in light household chores such as collecting firewood and fetching water. Your support will bring a lasting change to his life.
