"Jenny" was found on the streets by the local Social Affairs Team. Her mother had abandoned her on a train when she was 2 years old, so her father had cared for her until she was 12 years old. Her mother then took her back, only to abandoned her again on the market. She was transferred to the girls' transit house, where the Kimbilio staff helped find her father and reintegrate her with her family within 6 months. "Jenny" has since been living with her father and school. This wonderful story highlights the strong relationship that Kimbilio hold with the local Department of Social Affairs, and also of how sustainable Kimbilio's reintegration programme is. This was emphasized even more this past week, when "Jenny" returned to Kimbilio to request further assistance. Her father is seriously ill in hospital but she doesn't want to stop going to school or be forced out on the streets again, so is asking for Kimbilio's help to support her and her studies. Can we help?
