Maai Mahiu, Kenya
Grade 8
I live with my grandmother. My parents abandoned me and are untraceable. My grandmother is very sick with high blood pressure and she is diabetic. She is in and out of the hospital often. I miss school a lot and depend on well-wishers to provide for me. My cousin, Raphael, is in the same situation. Our grandmother reached out to the sub-county children’s department for help because she knew she could not care for us. We were so thankful for the opportunity to live at Maai Mahiu Children’s Home where we are safe and all of our needs are met.
