MEET MY FRIEND JOSEPH!He is 12 years old and studies at Uwa
Primary School.
“My school used to be in a bad condition. The toilets were in bad shape, the classroom floors were broken and the kitchen was very
basic, it was made of mud and timber. Childreach International has constructed a
kitchen and toilets and renovated the classrooms so now I study in a good
environment. When I grow up I want to be a doctor, as I want to save lives”.

goats for grazing in the mountain, with her brother.She also sometimes helps out at
the local women’s cooperative, where her mother and other

visiting tourists. The money the make is shared between the
local women!!Evenings: Fatima helps to
