Thank you for your donations - Mukami now has a house!!!

Thank you for your donations – Mukami now has a house!!!

In 2012, we introduced Irene Mukami and her family to you. Mukami is, the 8 year old girl whom we rescued from domestic child labour in Nairobi. On returning her home, we found a family that was living in the worst form of helpless and poverty. The 9 (nine) member family was living in a shack-like house (see picture No. 1), had barely enough to eat and all the 7 children were not going to school. However with your donations and a further contribution from our partners, we intervened and managed to send Mukami and her 5 siblings to school and embarked on a process of building a new house for them.

We are very excited to report to you that the new house is now complete and the family moved in on 20th July 2013!

We at Childline are overjoyed by this achieved and it is our hope that we can support more children and their families that pass through our hands.  We have attached a few photographs which will tell you about the journey of Mukami’s Family.

THANKYOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
