About Samuel comes from a poor family and lives with both his parents and five siblings. His parents work as casual laborers, relying on daily jobs to sustain the family. Unfortunately, the income from these jobs is insufficient to keep Samuel consistently in school, resulting in frequent absences that interfere with his academic progress. The financial strain often means the family goes without some meals, as the little money Samuel's parents earn also needs to cover the school fees of his siblings. Despite these hardships, Samuel remains determined and hopeful. He is praying earnestly for a sponsor to support his education and keep him in school. Samuel dreams of becoming a doctor so that he can lift others out of poverty and make a significant difference in his community.
