Maai Mahiu Children's Home
Grade 5
David Njuguna is the eldest of three siblings in his family. Following the unfortunate passing of his mother, he has been under the care of his grandmother. However, their circumstances have become increasingly challenging due to his grandmother's declining health. As a result, she struggles to maintain steady employment, making it difficult to provide for the family. The financial strain has forced David and his siblings to frequently miss school due to unpaid fees. Moreover, they often endure entire days without food, further worsening the situation. Given these circumstances, David was brought to Maai Mahiu Children's Home, along with his brother, where his basic needs can be met, and where he can receive love and holistic care.
