*Winnie is a grade two pupil who joined us as a kindergarten pupil in 2018. At the time, she was living with her mother who later became ill and lost her mental faculties. Winnie was then taken to live with her aunt.

Instead of finding refuge at her aunt’s home, Winnie has endured so much torture there. She was overworked and mistreated by her aunt and cousins (older daughters to the aunt). She would be sent for water at weird hours of the night, required to wash all the dishes, fetch firewood alone in the forest, wash clothes for everyone in the house while they did nothing. When she failed to do the work given to her, she would be beaten thoroughly by the aunt and cousins. Molo is a very cold region and the young girl would be made to bathe in cold water every morning and then come to school without breakfast.

We noticed that all was not well because Winnie was constantly shivering in class. She appeared malnourished and had marks all over her body. She was also unsettled in class and could not concentrate on her studies which took a toll on her academic performance. She would cry every evening when it was time to go home and this is what prompted the class teacher to the fact that all was not well. When we spoke to Winnie, she shared everything she was going through and showed the marks on her body that attested to the physical abuse the child was enduring.

We immediately took up this case and engaged the County Children’s Department. They removed Winnie from her aunt’s home and the children’s officer temporarily placed her in a nearby children’s home as they look for a safe place where she can live. Since being placed at the home, there has been great improvement in her academics. She is well settled and doing very well at school. Her dream in the future is to become a policewoman and with the focus this young girl has, we know that this is possible.

We thank God for Winnie’s life. Please help us pray that a more suitable relative will be identified to live with her and that they will treat the child with kindness and consideration.
