Joy has been part of the Develop Africa sponsorship program for the past eleven years. Joy has no siblings and she lost her father at a young age. She lives with her mom in a single room in the Regent community in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

In the Regent Community access to clean water and electricity are a challenge for residents. Most residents of the Regent community are stone miners and petty traders. Joy's mother is a low-income earner, she does door-to-door sales of rubber slippers. 

Joy is attending the Methodist Girls High School and she is in her third year at Junior High School (JSS3).  Joy would like to become a Medical Doctor as she loves taking care of sick people.

Joy has had a child sponsor for the past several years whose generosity has helped with her educational needs.
