KNIGHT MOGITI
GENDER: FEMALE
AGE: 6
FOUND: IN THE
STREET DURING EVANGELISM
YEAR SHE CAME TO
THE ORPHANAGE 2018
Knight did not
see her biological parents since she was found thrown in a rubbish bit of Nyambera
in the year 2014. By then she was a kid of only six months old!!! An aged woman
of 51 years adopted Knight and volunteered to take care of this young kid. This
woman was known as Pamela Nyaboke and she lived in Itumbe town where she used
to sell oranges and tomatoes for a living.
Pamela was
raised in a family of conflicts and the conflicts increased after the death of
her parents in the year 1992. There was total misunderstanding and disregard
between Pamela’s brothers and sisters. Pamela was later chased by her brothers
from their home whereby they were raising questions asking why she was not
married and she was of age!!
They drove her
out of their compound mercilessly. Pamela was childless and she adopted Knight
from the rubbish bin many years later while staying at Itumbe. She met with Knight
in the rubbish bin on her way from Daraja market and adopted her. She loved
Knight and called her “granddaughter.” Pamela managed to nature this young girl
Knight giving her good care until when she unfortunately died after suffering
for a short period of time!!
After the death
of Pamela, her brother by the name Fred offered a grave site to bury the body
of Pamela through the intervention of the chief area. These families refused to
adopt Knight from their sister!! Knight was now four years old when Pamela
died. This is where Knight’s life changed to the worst and she was left alone
in Itumbe town whereby she started wondering in the streets without help and
she was homeless.
During
evangelism, we met her and we had compassion on her and brought her to the
orphanage. She is now happy to get shelter, food, clothes and education, based
on the help from pastor Donald and pastor Joel she desire to be a nurse and in
church she likes reciting memory verses.
GAUDENCIAH NYABOKE
GENDER : FEMALE
AGE: 7
CLASS: GRADE 2
FOUND: ABANDONED
YEAR SHE CAME TO
THE ORPHANAGE 2018
Gaudenciah was
raised by a single young mother. We are told that Gaudenciah’s mother was
called Jennifer Moraa. She came to live in Kenyenya town from Nyamache Shopping
Centre in the year 2017 with her daughter Gaudenciah.
They started
life in a rental house near Kenyenya market. Gaudenciah’s mother used to wash
clothes for people to earn a living. In the process she was engaged with a
certain man. This man promised Gaudenciah’s mother marriage but with a
condition that only if she had no a child.
This forced
Gaudenciah’s mother to reject her own daughter so that not to break the
relationship with the man she loved most. She was totally changed and cautioned
her daughter Gaudenciah not to call her “mother” but instead use the name
“Aunt“ to call her!!! Gaudeniciah ‘s mother made sure that the name “mother”
could not be spoken in the presence of the man who she was in love with and had
lied to him that she was childless !!. This is because she wanted to secure her
love with the man.
She now started
mistreating her own child Gaudenciah and earlier January in the year 2018 she
decided to boycott her daughter Gaudenciah and went missing with that so called
“Husband” to unknown place.
Two months later
we heard this story that Jennifer had abandoned her daughter intentionally
simply because she was in love with a man who could not marry her with a child.
Gaudenciah was abandoned alone in the rental house having nothing to eat and
the land lord was about to lock her outside of that house.
When we had
evangelism in that flat we asked someone to adopt Gaudenciah but no one was ready
to take Gaudenciah because they feared her mother who was very harsh and could easily
fight people. We adopted Gaudenciah to our orphanage.
Since then we
have been making a follow up about this woman Jennifer Moraa { Gaudenciah ‘s
mother} and her family background but we have not been able to trace the family
for 2 years now and no one knows about the family background yet!!.
Gaudenciah is
now staying in the orphanage and she is comfortable to be with other children
in this building. Gaudenciah had given up but now she is smiling for the care
and help in the orphanage through Pastor Donald. She likes playing a drum and
she can sing very well. She wants to be a gospel artist after school.
