Imagine being mother to 56 children! We’d met Sheila on our trip to Kenya in 2014. When we were in need of a new caretaker for the children, we asked her if she knew anyone who could do the job. She raised her hand, and overnight, she went from a young single woman to mother okenyan first Aid of 56 kids! Sheila visits the primary and high school students on their visitor days, bringing them snacks and even full meals! She encourages them and … well, scolds them when needed. She takes them to the doctor when they are sick. Thanks to TJUC’s generosity, each child received a new outfit of clothing for Christmas – and guess who did the shopping! And then there are school supplies, sheets and mattresses for the boarding school … and the list goes on. In Sheila’s words –

“KEAP has gone deep into the heart of this nation and made these children rise up on their feet and feel important and fit in the community …. Today when I look at the faces of these kids and see them smile and consider their dreams revive – I thank KEAP. As a caretaker and mother, I interact with these kids quite often and visit them in school and see the joy and hope that has been planted in their lives. For you have made all the difference, their lives have been turned around.”
