Ben lives with his father and junior brother in a small shack he helped his father build. After the death of his mother two years ago, Ben began taking his schooling very seriously and went from being fifth in his class to first. He enjoys reading and writing and often stays at school late and even comes on weekends in search of books and paper. He aspires to be a lot of things in his future but one of the biggest aspirations is becoming employed at Mawuvio's Outreach Programme so he can help children just like himself.
