NO CHILD IS EVER LEFT BEHIND
Did you know the word ‘Upendo’ means ‘love’ in Swahili?
At the Remote Distribution in 2022, young Amina was so excited to get her mattress she ran right to the mattress, bypassing the backpacks. Amina’s mother went over to Mama Wandoa to explain what happened and asked if her daughter could have one. In order to maintain the integrity of the process, Mama had to ask Amina’s mother to wait. Sadly, with a newborn, she could not stay.
Mama took her contact information and promised to get the backpack to Amina.
This year Mama Wandoa wanted to honour her promise. She contacted Amina’s mother making arrangements for them to come to a distribution so Amina would receive her backpack and a special 50+3 Sleeping Children button. With permission from her mother we were able to take photos of this touching occasion.
THESE are the moments we will remember.❤️
