Jonata lives with her parents, four siblings and grandparents in a mud hut in the Kyaka II refugee camp. Dad is the sole breadwinner, while Mum is at home, looking after the children and her sick grandmother, whose treatment is difficult and expensive. The father does not have a permanent job, he just looks for odd jobs. It is difficult for him to provide food, medicine and school fees for the children for the family. That is why some of the children have had to drop out of public school. 

It was Jonathas teachers who identified him as an exceptionally bright student. When he was absent from school for a long time they visited the family to assess the situation. They advised the family to put the children in the YIDA school, which is the only school in the area that has a sponsorship program to support children's education.

The YIDA school accepted Jonath even without tuition fees. However, thanks to the HelpKids program, we will help all five children to be able to return to school.
