Meet John
My Story
John’s father died of AIDS in 2006. John’s mother struggled to support her ten children through the sale of locally produced beer. John attended school irregularly and spent many days assisting his mother in selling alcohol. John only ate once per day and slept on a papyrus mat in a small grass-thatched hut in Busia’s Nangwe market.
John is now under the care of New Hope. John’s dream is to finish school and become a doctor.
With your help, we can continue to provide John with all his nutritional, medical and educational needs and greatly improve his quality of life. To sponsor John, please click the “donate now” button below.
