Joseph comes from a large family with 14 children from his father's two wives, and his mother has 6 children. Their main source of income is through peasant work, where they work on other people's farms in their village. They also cultivate a small plot of land for food production, but it often doesn't yield enough to feed the entire family, let alone cover education expenses. Despite their hard work, the family struggles to provide for all the children's education.

Due to their financial difficulties, Joseph's education is at risk. While their school previously offered some financial assistance, it's no longer available, and they are unable to afford Joseph's school fees. Without additional support, Joseph's education is in jeopardy, and the family is reaching out to Caritas For Children for assistance.
