Hi, I'm Joseph
I'm a boy, 5 years old and live in Uganda.
Joseph is lives with both parents in the village of Kyampogola with other 7 siblings at home. The parents do casual labour to survive at home with the many children. Little is earned through these petty jobs by the parents. The caregivers are peasant farmers who are entirely depend on cultivation of food crops for home consumption. The father is a polygamous man having 2 families and has many children. This gives the Father less potential to look after all the families, as a man. Joseph is the fifth among the children at home. The child enrolled in the pre- school education but lacks scholastic materials, school fees and other essentials at home. The family also lacks home basic requirements like beddings, clothing and medical services.
