About John lives with both his parents and two elder brothers. His mother relies on farming as a source of income while his father has a small retail shop whereby he sells a few commodities to enable him earn a living. It has been difficult for his parents to cater for the family’s basic needs as their income is too low. His Father suffers from asthma and blood pressure which makes it even difficult for him to get enough money to support his family as he has to also buy his medication. John is often sent back home from school due to having not paid his school fees and this has negatively affected his performance. He is a bright boy and he hopes to find someone that will sponsor his education and help him achieve his dream of becoming an engineer in the future.
