Kuto was born in a small village in Burkina Faso. He was the youngest of five children and his parents could not afford to send all of their children to school. When Kuto was old enough, he left home to find work so that he could help support his family. Kuto found work as a laborer on a farm. He worked hard and saved his money so that one day he could start his own farm.
Kuto’s dream came true when he was able to buy a piece of land and start his own farm. He worked hard on his farm and soon it became successful. Kuto married and had children of his own. Life was good for Kuto and his family; however, they always lived with the knowledge that they were not wealthy like some of the other families in the village.
One day, tragedy struck Kuto’s family when raiders attacked their village looking for slaves. Kuto’s wife and children were among those taken captive by the raiders but, fortunately, Kuto himself managed to escape capture by hiding in a tree until they had gone. After the raiders had left, Kuto set out to find help from anyone who would listen – including the king himself!
