Cicilea Njeri (Child Number MC113)
Cicilea was born in 1997 in Muranga, Kenya. She has three brothers living elsewhere and three sisters living with her here at Mercy Child Foundation. (her sisters are Naomi, Lucy and Leah)
Cicilea was living with her grandmother before coming to the orphanage. After coming here her grandmother has visited her once.
Her mother is alive but has not visited her at the orphanage and her father’s whereabouts are unknown. (We do not know the circumstances of why her mother is not involved)
Her favorite color is red and she enjoys playing football (American soccer). (many times they use rolled up garbage to make a ball)
Cicilea says her favorite class is math because she understands it but her least favorite is Social Studies because it’s hard.
She helps around the orphanage by sweeping, mopping and washing utensils. (all the children at Mercy Child Foundation have chores to help keep the home clean)
After her chores she likes studying. (this is difficult since there is no electricity at Mercy and they must share a torch (flashlight) among the children)
Cicilea is among several children who are ready for sponsorship. To choose a child to sponsor, please visit our Sponsorship Gallery.
