sponsor a child

Ka wula (hello), my name is Thomas Tiyumba

  • location

    Ghana

  • 9 yrs. old

    05-07-2015

Entered the program: March 2023

Thomas lives with his mother and two siblings in a one-bedroom cement brick house. The family has access to electricity but no potable water. The village women and girls must fetch water from a local dam or walk long distances to find other sources.

Thomas, his mother and his siblings, Pearl and Moses (also in the program), are going through much difficulty. His father neglects them and refuses to provide for them and their education; all of the responsibilities have fallen to his mother who has a disability.  They live on less than a dollar a day. Some days there is no food and most of the time, Thomas and his siblings go to school without eating. Thomas is a Christian and he prays things will get better for him and his family.
