Location: Gulu, Uganda

Hobbies/Interests: Playing football/soccer, reading books, and helping parents.

Jonathan made 11 years in May and lives in a home with other dependents (6 boys and 3 girls). There are no adults other than his one grandmother to take care of them. He is trying hard to go to school but his old caregiver can’t afford to send him to school because she is overburdened and has to spend her meager income to meet the large family needs like food, home repairs, and meet medical expenses among others; his grandmother is overburdened and lacks the socioeconomic capacity to provide adequate care and support for these children including meeting education expenses. He also lives in an HIV/AIDS-affected area where the disease has created orphans and vulnerable children. 

He hopes to become a Medical Doctor and help the poor access cheaper medical care. Please pray for this vulnerable child achieve his full potential.
