Charity lives with her parents and sister in Kibera. She has a needy family. Her parents do not have stable jobs, though her father works as a night guard whenever he is able to find work. Many times they sleep hungry and sometimes Charity misses school due to lack of school supplies. Charity's family lives in a one room home made of sticks and mud walls. They do not have any running water in their home, so they must buy water daily in 20 liter jugs from water vendors.

Kibera is the second largest slum in Africa. There is no waste removal or clean water, and open sewage runs through the slum. Education comes at a high price to the children here. Sponsorship provides school fees, a school uniform, lunch at school, a monthly food basket, emergency medical care, and the Saturday Bible Club through International Needs Kenya.
