“The fathers and the donors have supported me, and I thank them so much so that they continue with that spirit to support others in the community.”
-Mary Ann
Mary Ann’s journey has not been easy. As a youth in Nairobi, she suffered from cerebral malaria, which rendered her blind at the age of 13. Her mother was unable to afford the cost of a special school and was forced to withdraw her from school.
Mary Ann’s challenges deepened when she became pregnant, and as a blind young mother, she faced significant social and economic hardships.
The Vincentians stepped in!
She was enrolled in a school for the blind and has received school supplies, transportation allowances, medical check-ups, and food support for herself and her son.
Today, Mary Ann has successfully completed her secondary education and is hopeful for a bright and fulfilling future.
