Dalton lives in a small one room house in the slums of Mpererwe-Kikuubo with his mother and two siblings. Sadly, his father died in a tragic accident in 2018. His mother really struggles to provide for the family. She does whatever little jobs she can in the community to make enough money to eat. She sometimes washes peoples clothes and sells tomatoes on the street. She has not been able to pay the school fees for Dalton, so he has been in and out of school a lot.

Currently he is home from school and not able to go back unless someone supports him. His family is born again Christian. Dalton also has some minor health problems, one of which is a cold intolerance which causes him to sneeze a lot.

Could you help us give Dalton hope and send him back to school?
