Kaptagat, Kenya
Grade 4
My mother passed in 2017 from epilepsy, leaving my father to take care me and my eight siblings. It was a difficult time for him, he stuggled to provide a steady home life and consistent meals. The community around us even chipped in to provide support, but it was not enough. When I was one month old, I was taken to Mogogosiek Baby Home for care. I went with my twin brother and one of my older brothers. The rest of my siblings were split up amongst relatives. My brothers and I have thrived at Mogogosiek, but now it is time for us to graduate to Kaptagat Children's Home.
