A Family’s Heartwarming Story at Dedan Kimathi Children’s Home

In Njabini, at the Dedan Kimathi Children’s Home, a touching tale unfolds, showing the warmth of family and the power of kindness. Meet Philemona, her happy son Victor, and Shiru – the caring daughter of CEO Evelyn Kimathi.

Philemona, brought to the Children’s Home by kind nuns from Naivasha, found comfort at Dedan Kimathi. Victor, once a mystery, now thrives as a lively two-year-old in the caring atmosphere of the Children’s Home.

Shiru, the daughter of CEO Evelyn Kimathi, plays a special role in this story. She’s not only Victor’s caregiver but also the biological mother of Gaceeri, whom she was breastfeeding when Victor arrived at the Children’s Home. Philemona, facing challenges due to her mental condition, couldn’t breastfeed her child, making Shiru’s loving gesture even more significant by breastfeeding Victor too.

In this simple yet heartfelt tale, we see how families, like the Kimathi family, create a positive impact. The Dedan Kimathi Children’s Home becomes a haven not just for those in need but a place where family love extends to brighten the lives of others.

As we follow Victor’s journey, the legacy of kindness from the Kimathi family shines through. In the laughter of the two-year-old and the care provided by Shiru, we witness a family’s commitment to making a difference, one loving gesture at a time.
