Mervin is the eldest of 3 children in the family. They live in a modest concrete abode, situated near the road of a rural village. The family has access to electricity and water sources, but they still do not have their own bathroom for sanitary disposal, so they share the toilet with their relatives. They also use charcoal as it is cheaper. Mervins father works diligently as a laborer to secure a decent life for the children, but his monthly income of $90.00 is not enough to save for the future or to meet the current needs of the family amidst the high cost of living in the area. Mervin perseveres as a primary level student as he dreams of helping his family in the future. He enjoys playing basketball and watching television in his spare time, but he always extends a helping hand to his mother in cooking and fetching water. Mervin dreams of becoming a police officer in the future so he can serve and protect his community. Your generous support can pave the way for his dreams to come true despite challenges in life!
