Elizabeth Nyabuto, 17 year-old girl found in the streets during post-election violence in 2018
Elizabeth
was raised by a single mother who lived at Rongo from the year 2005. She gave
birth to Elizabeth there at Rongo
shopping center.
When
Elizabeth tried to enquire about their family background from her mother, the
mother used to rebuke her and eventually told her daughter Elizabeth that she
was misplaced. She always told Elizabeth to stop asking about their family
background but instead work hard in school!!
Unfortunately
the mother of Elizabeth was slaughtered by violence perpetrators who attacked
the flat where they were living. By good luck Elizabeth at the time had gone
for sugar at the shop!! On her way back to the house she saw these perpetrators
cutting her mother’s neck and other neighbors were tightly held also to be killed.
She threw down the sugar, but in her hand she was having a change of kshs 150
from sugar. With that money, she picked a motor bike and escaped to Nyamarambe
sub-county.
She
did not wish to go back to their rental house at Rongo again where her beloved
mother was killed before her eyes due to 2012 -2013 post-election violence. One
of the teachers at Nyakeyo primary school adopted Elizabeth to his home and
later in November the year 2017 the teacher’s family migrated to the nearby country
of Tanzania leaving Elizabeth in the care of their elder brother.
This
brother chased Elizabeth from his home due to pressure from his wife who did
not want Elizabeth to be adapted to their
family. Elizabeth ran to the street and we found her in need of our help. After
listening to her, we came with her to the orphanage.
She is now peaceful in the orphanage and she congratulates Pastor Donald, mum Vivian and all the friends who contribute their funds to help Log orphanage. She likes cleaning the church and reciting memory verses. She has a passion of becoming a teacher of the word of God. Blessings to everyone who donates.
Faith Ontiri, 12 year-old girl who came to the orphanage in 2018
The
parents and two siblings of Faith were brutally killed at Bomet while they were
digging in the garden of their neighbor as an odd job to earn their living!! But
Faith was the only one left back home at their rental house. She had remained
behind to prepare tea and take it to the garden for her parents and siblings.
This
is where she received the shocking sad news about the cruel death of her
parents and siblings as a result of post-election violence!!! She felt down on
the floor and fainted!! One of her close neighbor and family friend took Faith
and hid her to prevent her from being tortured and killed also!!!
Two
days later this good neighbor escorted Faith up to the border of our Kisii and
Kipsigis community- a place called Sotik. The neighbor returned at the border
and gave Faith Ksh 400 to use as a bus fare to wherever she would like to go
for refugee within her own tribe Kisii.
Since
she was now on her tribe’s land and would not be killed, Faith bordered a
vehicle and paid a bus fare. She was heading to unknown direction since she did
not have any information concerning her father’s family back ground!!
All
of a sudden she saw us having a crusade at Omoriungamu junction and she
abruptly stopped the bus!! After coming down the bus, she directly came to the
crusade ground. As the crusade continued she was terribly crying!!
Pastor
Vincent went close to her and inquired from her what the problem was! She told
Pastor Vincent how her parents and siblings were killed, how she was rescued by
her good neighbor and she had nowhere to go from there!! After the crusade we
discussed the issue with other leaders and decided to have Faith in the
orphanage due to here dilemma station.
Faith
is happy to belong to the orphanage where she receives love and support through
Pastor Donald in connection with Pastor Joel Kisii Log church. She is a very talented
singer and she wants to use her talents more especially after school to glorify
God. She really appreciates Pastor Donald and all donors for providing to her
daily needs. Surely to this far it is the hand of God!!!
