Maai Mahiu, Kenya
Grade 5
I came from a family that had very little, but we lost everything in the tragic Maai-Mahiu floods of 2024. Everything was destroyed and carried away, including my mother. I was traumatized and in desperate need of provision and care. My father could not provide it and I was taken to Maai-Mahiu Children's Home. I struggled to acclimate and would hide myself away. Currently, I am working on building trust and attending counseling to process the past and empower my future.
