YEAR SHE CAME TO THE
ORPHANAGE 2019
FOUND POST
ELECTION VIOLENCE AS INTERNAL REFUGE
Lillian later gave birth to Yvonne at the
age of 21 while still living in this place alongside the Kisii and Maasai
community border; she was living in a rental house with her daughter Yvonne.
It is sad news that during post-election
violence that took place in the year 2017-2018,
Yvonne‘s dear mother was killed by the Maasai solders while on her way from the
market together will other 3 Kisii women!!. They were slaughtered mercilessly
to death!!! The solders escaped after committing the killings!
The corpse of the deceased was buried in
the cemetery. Yvonne‘s mother died at the age of 34 years while her daughter
Yvonne was at the age of 13 years then. One of the Masaai woman adopted Yvonne
to her home and Yvonne stayed there for only 1 year and in January the year
2019 this good Samaritan passed away after suffering from high blood pressure!!
She left Yvonne and her two elderly daughters who were not married that they
stayed with in their home.
Terribly the daughters of this woman
immediately chased away Yvonne from their home after burial of their mother. We
found Yvonne desperate and homeless January 2019. We sympathized with her
situation and decided to bring her to the orphanage.
Yvonne is greatly happy to be in the orphanage
premises. She was hopeless but she has hope now in this facility. Yvonne is
much thankful for the church and friends of USA being led by Pastor Donald and
Vivian to support and encourage the orphans where she is included. Yvonne likes
teaching young kids during Sunday school lessons and she has a passion to
become a teacher of the word of God.

YEAR HE CAME TO
THE ORPHANAGE 2019
Daniel Nyangieya lived together with his
parents at Nyabioto shopping center near our location Sengera. His parents
James and Mary are said to have come to this village shopping center from
Nyansara where they lived for eight years. The family background of Daniel‘s
parents was not known at all since their dwelling was based in rental houses.
Daniel used to sleep in a separate house
from the family rental house. In fact this boy received all meals and
necessities in the house of the parents but in the evening after supper, he
went to sleep in his neighbor’s house. He could wake up earlier in the morning
and walk to the house of his parents to get breakfast and other daily needs. The
parents were supporting their son Daniel but the only challenge was a sleeping
room. Hence he found somewhere to sleep in a friend’s house.
It was Sunday morning on date 27th
the year 2019 when his parents were attacked at around 11pm at night and they
were shot dead!! Some neighbors came to rescue them when they heard a sound of
gun from their living house but they found dead bodies and the criminals who
did this killings had ran away!! Their bodies were buried in the cemetery and
the government officials vowed to do investigation of the matter for Justice
but they have not come up with the information of this killing to date!!
Now everyone feared to live with this
young boy Daniel Nyangieya since they did not know what caused the gun shoot to
both his parents!! On 31st January (after four days) we meet with Daniel
being psychologically tortured and terribly crying for the rejection he had
gone through!! He explained to us how he lost his caring parents.
We also found the same information from
people of Nyabioto village and we managed to allow this boy join the orphanage
at least to give him hope and courage. Daniel Nyangieya is humbled to be taken
care of through the support of Pastor Donald and USA church. He is equally
thankful to pastor Joel and the church of Kenya for showing him love and care.
He is a talented young footballer and he also likes dancing in church. Besides
these talents he wants to become a pastor after school.
SHADOLIN MONG’ARE
GENDER: FEMALE
AGE: 12
CLASS:
STD 6
YEAR
SHE CAME TO THE ORPHANAGE 2017
FOUND: REJECTION
The
name of Shadolin’s mother was known as Sheilla Kemunto. Sheilla was one of the
casual workers at Ogembo tea factory. She got an access to live in the factory
premises with her daughter and later with a man who was believed to be her
husband for several years.
In
the year 2017 February the mother of Shadolin collapsed and died while on
duty!! After post mortem the doctors discovered that it was a disease known as
fatal arrhythmias!!! it is during this time
that the “so called “ husband to Sheilla denied their marriage and said
that Sheilla was just but a girlfriend and they were not legally married with her!
People
suggested that maybe this man denied this intentionally in order to prevent the
body of his wife from being buried in his home.
And also they sensed that he wanted to reject Shadolin as her daughter:
This is because this man was publicly announcing that, he found Sheilla with a
kid (Shadolin) and they started living together as friends and not as married
couples!!
By
the fact that the deceased was homeless the body was buried in the cemetery and
this young girl Shadolin was left hanging around without any consideration to
her from anyone!! Pastor Vincent and our church elders were among the guests
who attended the funeral and after they witnessed a total rejection to Shadolin
by her “so called father” and none was volunteering to adopt Shaldolin and it
was evening time they brought this girl to the orphanage and explained the
situation.
We
sat down as leaders the following morning and eventually accepted Shadolin to
be part of the orphanage kids. Shadolin was helpless but now she is receiving
good care in the orphanage through the coordination of Pastor Donald and Pastor
Joel. She is talented in singing and composing new songs. She has a passion to
become an artist after school.
