Joseph Bonaventura Mtika
12 years old

Joseph is a charming boy who dreams of becoming a doctor one day. His birthday is March 19, 1999.

Joseph lives with his mother and there are 5 other children in the family; Frank (25), Antoine (18), Grace (15), Mary (22, married and not living at home) and Lusia (15) who is also in the ABCD program.

Joseph is attending Kilaremo Primary School in Grade 6. We received a good report from the school about Joseph’s progress. He stood at 13 out of 45 students in his grade level and earned 4 B’s and 4 C’s even after missing 24 days due to illness. He received a book award at the ABCD Art Day Awards Ceremony. Joseph’s drawings are full of strong line and much detail.
