Pictured above: Charles, pictured left, a member of the African Vision of Hope Child Sponsorship and Rescue Team, talks to the father of an African Vision of Hope student about his family’s struggles. This father is building a hut for their family out of mud and sticks. 

Charles knows what it is like to live every day full of uncertainty. He and his younger brother were raised by a single mother who sold vegetables but only made enough for them to have one meal a day. “We always ate right before going to bed so the hunger pains would not keep us awake,” remembers Charles. His mother lost her job and they were thrown out of their home, so they went to stay with his grandmother. She was sick and they had no money for medicine, and when Charles was 12 years old his grandmother passed away.
