Mutuku Ngumbi is 12 years old. His exact date of birth is not known. He lives in Rolling Hills Residence. He is in standard 6 and in his last exam, he was position 33 out of 48 kids in his class with 233 marks out of the possible 500 marks. His mother passed away in 2000, a year after he was born. She was not married.
He used to live with his grandmother who earns an income through selling extra farm produce, begging doing casual work where she can get. On their ¼ acre piece of land, she grows maize, beans, peas, sugarcanes and bananas. They also have 1 goat and 1 hen.
Mutuku used to sleep on a weak and poorly constructed wooden bed alone. He used sacks stuffed with napier grass as his mattress and his beddings were old and dirty. He looked thin and malnourished.
