Okello Peter lives in a small rented house with his parents, five siblings and two cousins (children of two aunts, one who was killed by the rebels and one who died of AIDS).
The family moved here from Gulu town in northern Uganda in 1991 because of the war. His father does occasional construction work, and his mother does bead making.
There are five children in primary school and two in secondary school. The family has so much difficulty paying school fees that many of the children are chased from school every other week due to no school fees.
Okello Peter is an average student. He likes to study and play games with friends. He works around the house and also fetches water.
Your sponsorship of Okello Peter will help keep him in school on a regular basis and allow him to concentrate more on his studies.
