Meet Joan Natocho

My Story


Although both her parents are alive, Joan and her family live in extreme poverty in the Mugungu slums of Busia. Both of Joan’s parents are HIV positive.  Her father sells small quantities of charcoal while her mother sells used clothing.  Collectively, they earn less than $1/day, hardly enough to support their seven children.


Joan’s dream is to work as a teacher. With your help we can provide Joan with all her nutritional, medical and educational needs and greatly improve her quality of life.   To sponsor Joan, please click the “donate now” button below.
