Benis O. 1375

Grade Male: Kindergarten - 8th Gr.

School Grade 5

Benis was born in the year 2011 in Malamasa village, in Mfangano East location. He is the only child in his family.  Benis was born out of wedlock and has been staying with his grandmother, who is a peasant farmer.

Benis’s mother is alive but she is not able to care for Benis. His widowed grandmother stepped in to care for him when he was still very young, while they were living on Remba Island. Benis’ grandmother also has children of her own to care for. She works as a peasant farmer and sometimes fishes in other people’s nets to supplement her income. The seasonality of this work often presents a challenge in providing the basic needs for the family, including adequate food. They depend on the generosity of relatives and well-wishers too.

Benis was previously learning at Sena primary school before joining GGCC. He was admitted in January of 2019 in KG2 as vulnerable child. His admission to GGCC is a great relief for his grandmother. Benis will have access to a quality education in addition to having his most basic needs met.

Benis likes plays soccer with his peers. He would like to become a pilot when he grows up.
