Elisheeba is an extremely brilliant seven year old girl in Primary 1 grade level. She attends church regularly and sings in the Sunday school choir. She is the last born of four children and has one brother and two sisters who live with their Christian mother because the father decided to walk out on the family. She receives no help from her father and is often living with relatives. Her mother is a teacher in primary school, but the school fees burden has made it difficult for her to properly care for them due to her meager income. In addition, her older siblings have really overstretched her mother's expenditure.

At home she helps the family by fetching water, washing utensils and her own clothes, and cleaning the compound. Among her hobbies are music, reading, drawing, and storytelling.
