Young mums receiving the
baby jumpsuit from Emma Radin
From kibera community
center, you see as mile by everyone in their faces great work, they must be
wondering what else could be in there parcel….hahaha!
Babies in their news
jumpsuit immediately before they are washed, they never follow instruction that
they need to be washed with the worm water for the first time, may be they will
do so when they get to their home ….! It was really a great moment for the mum
and the children, the kids look great in the jam suits hehe thanks to the family
of baby Teresa and Emma too.
COMMENT FROM THE CENTER

Your generosity has not
gone to waste but is used as a tool of transformation of livelihood of less
fortunate women and their children, onbehalf of the team and the young mums I wish
to say that new hope of life to the young women here is born, we have noticed
this during the past 3 months and today when we received the gift from Emma
Radin, thanks heaps from Tasmania Edmund rice network and Christian Brothers
East Africa , may all of you keep waking gently with us as you transform the
world each day, may the presence of the spirit of Edmund be felt across the
globe and be reflected upon by small and big
communities across Africa and beyond
Edmund rice once said
“But We as a community must help it develop and flourish, otherwise we
will have failed our future “we should all learn That the general work or
engagement Of eddy rice is his message to the world and that is the work of cbs
in Africa ….WE AFRICAN ARE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THE NEWS AND ACTION OF EDMUND RICE
thanks heaps..
here are a few comments
from the women.
Mbithe Ros :
how do you feel about yourself?”am feeling great a least am able to have hope
that someday my daughter will go to school and have education, am happy because
am not idol and each morning I wake up coming here making me feel like any
other person who is employed by big company again coming here has strengthened
me a lot because we share our stories and we laugh all together making us to
forget our main problem so group is helping us a lot.
Muhonja : am
happy since I have a place to spend the day each day ; I would advice our
members to keep up the spirit of togetherness since coming together by itself
is great strength.
Atieno :
I am
happy we have made a step, am happy I would be able to get milk for my children
out of here,a least I would be able to feed my family and continue giving them
hope,atleast we should get breakfast here during work as one of our meal of the
day since most of us do come
without anything in the morning, this may give us energy to
work hard, it can motivate us more during working hours. If we could get maize floor and sukuma
wiki (cales) even once per week will help us a lot for me my major problem is rent, food for my
two boys of 10 ,12 years and their school tuition fee, I have not paid anything
they are home but I keep sending them
back to school but am sure I will find
them home again since I have no money to
pay for them in schoo
Winey:”
some are slow learners but we have moved
from initial stages to new level, I am happy this project makes me busy and am
now able to make some beads by myself. If I continue like this am sure this
will enable every one of us to be on its own, be able to feed himself and the children,
I would like everyone to be serious and work hard to forge ahead with life to
the next level
We the team are happy
that the group is progressing positively and soon they will be the torch of
their own family
