Joseph is the third born. His mother died of HIV/AIDS in 2006. When his mother passed in 2006, his father was bedridden and unable to care for Joseph and his siblings. Their grandmother in Maragwa got custody of the children and they were being cared for by their aunt before coming to HOREC in December 2008. Joseph’s father has since passed due to HIV/AIDS. Joseph is HIV+.

Joseph likes to smile and read. He helps at HOREC by picking up trash on the grounds.
