Date of Birth:
08/25/2015

Place of Birth:
Mwitumura – Central Imenti – Kenya

School Attended:
Achievers Academy

New Hope – AINA’s Paolo Academy

Child’s History:

Blessing’s mother was HIV positive when Blessing was born in August 2015. Her father, struggling with the stigma of HIV and economic insecurity, left before Blessing’s birth. Just 19 months after giving birth, Blessing’s mother passed from complications related to HIV. Blessing’s grandmother, Faith, who was already responsible for Blessing’s older sister, became primary caregiver.

In early 2021, after a home visit from our social worker Phineas, we decided to admit Blessing to our home. Since her admission, she has become quite social and loves participating in singing group and sports.  She has told our staff that she wishes to become a doctor one day so she can care for her grandmother and sister.

Place of Birth:
Tharaka-Nithi County – Kenya

School Attended:
Achiever’s Academy
New Hope – AINA’s Paolo Academy

Child’s History:
Favour came to New Hope – AINA in 2018 after living and attending school in Tharaka-Nithi County. She is bright and dearly loved by her family and previous teachers, but an overflowing river near her home and severe health complications by mother and child prevented Favour from making it to class and staying well. Her family and teachers requested she come live at New Hope – AINA in order to ensure that Favour’s health, happiness, and education are a priority. Today, she is attending Paolo Academy and making new friends!

Thank you for your sponsorship, which will provide Favour with the tools to succeed!
