Now the children are under the care of their mother who only sells tomatoes along the road in-order to provide for the family basic needs. The income the mother gets from her business/work is very little (average monthly net income 1600 KES). The first and last born child in the family is having sickle anemia.

Billy is doing well health wise at present. Billy likes reading story books, playing football. Billy likes Science, Agriculture and Home science. Billy would like to be an electrician after school. because of a very bad situation from 2024 he should move to the orphanage and start studying 6th grade at Island of Hope Humanist School.
