During the Ebola outbreak, Joseph's father passed away. After he lost his father, his mother married another man and abandoned the family. Now, Joseph lives with his aunt, a small business owner in the Tombo community. His aunt has four other children in her care, making it difficult to adequately provide food and other basic needs for all of the children, including Joseph. This leaves Joseph to transport fish baskets for fishermen and women in the Tombo area for money. Joseph has attended school but stopped in grade one due to a lack of funds to pay for tuition, uniform, school supplies, and other school fees. He wishes to continue his schooling if given the support and would love to be a pilot in the future. Joseph's favorite subject is science and he enjoys football.
