Joel, a determined and ambitious 16-year-old Form Two student, dreams of becoming a medical doctor despite facing numerous challenges. After his mother’s fallout with his father when he was just four, Joel has solely depended on his hardworking peasant farmer mother for support in both basic needs and education. However, her limited earnings from farming often impacted by bad weather and poor yields make it difficult to provide for Joel and his siblings.
These financial struggles have also prevented Joel from receiving proper medical treatment for his persistent nosebleeds, a condition that affects his daily life and academic performance. Despite these obstacles, his passion for education and his future aspirations remain strong. With the right support, Joel can access the healthcare he needs and continue striving toward his dream of serving his family and community as a doctor.
