My Story

Lucy's mother has physical and intellectual disabilities. The left side of her body is partially paralyzed. Because of her mother's physical limitations, she believes that the only way she can survive and care for Lucy and her sister, is to sell herself to men. The family relocated to Maai Mahiu town, where they hosted by a well-wisher for awhile. Now Lucy's family rents a single room house and her mother accommodates men at any time. Thankfully, Lucy and her sister, Eunice, were given a safe place to stay within one of Chariots children's homes. Lucy is no longer at risk of abuse from the unknown men in her home at all hours. She can newly focus on her schooling and bettering her mental health.
