Rescuing Children. Restoring Hope. Transforming Lives.

Joseph Peter

15 year old Joseph’s parents separated when he was very young. His mother was able to remarry, but she did not want her new husband to know that she already had a child. Joseph was sent to stay with his grandfather, who lived in poverty in the village of Machame. He then moved to the streets with some other children and was forced to sell drugs to survive. After one month he was brought to Amani. A responsible young man, Joseph likes to help others. Although his favorite class is art, he is trying hard in math and science so that one day he may become a pilot.
