*Winnie is a grade six pupil at the Molo Milimani center who joined our school in 2021.She comes from a family of five that is headed by a single mother. After her parents separated, their mother took them to their upcountry home to live with their grandmother while she went to Molo to look for work. 

While at their grandmother’s home, the children were not going to school because the elderly lady could not afford to pay school fees. This prompted Winnie’s mother to bring them to Molo where she could take care of them – despite it being a daily struggle just to meet the family’s basic needs.

Our social worker came across this family while conducting home visits in the village. Their story was very touching and this made the social worker recruit Winnie to join the school. When she started coming to school, we soon noticed that Winnie was having some challenges. She was withdrawn and very reserved; she appeared to be absent-minded most of the time and would lose concentration while in class. The social worker engaged her in several conversations and it emerged that the young girl was very stressed because of the situation at home which was also making her depressed. 

The social worker held several guidance and counseling sessions with the girl and also linked her to the school chaplain for more support and prayers. Over time, we started to notice a difference in Winnie. She was no longer withdrawn and her confidence levels started to rise. In time, she gave her life to Christ and the transformation is now very evident in every area of her life including her class performance. She now has a dream of becoming a nurse and she is working very hard to see it come true.

We are encouraged every time we see Winnie for it helps us remember that having God in our lives makes all the difference, no matter the circumstances that surround us. Please join us as we pray that the entire family will also experience the total transformation that only comes from Christ Jesus.
