Prior to joining Otino Waa, Jacob and his brother, Jonathan, were living with their relatives after having lost both of their parents. Their relatives have a lot of dependants and were unable to provide the basic care and needs for Jacob and his brother and they had no one else to care for them. Jacob is excited to call Otino Waa his new home and is determined to make the most of this opportunity and build a brighter future. Jacob is a shy little boy with a big smile. He loves learning English in school and enjoys playing soccer. He dreams of becoming a doctor one day.
