Oliver Kamwi lost his father when he was very young. His mother in order to earn money to feed her young, gave herself to men in return for payment, she has five other children to support, Oliver is the oldest. When he first arrived to start grade seven at Mukuni Basic School he only possessed the torn clothes that he was wearing. He now benefits from the orphan sponsorship program. Oliver lives in Kamwi Village and each day walks the three miles to Mukuni Basic School, where he not only receives an education thanks to his sponsor but also a daily nutritional meal from the feeding program provided  The Butterfly Tree.
