Gladys Mukoya (Child Number ER101)
Gladys was born in 1999 in Butere Mumias District and has six other siblings.
Her father died a few years ago, and because he provided for the family her mother was not able to continue to provide for all of the children. (Very common and many times after the husband dies his parents/siblings etc. come in and take everything from the wife and children. Sometimes they may even take the children away from their mother. Hard to comprehend but we have friends in Kenya this has happened to.)
The Chief of Eldama Ravine stepped in to assist and was able to bring Gladys, and her younger sister Alice, to Eldama Ravine Children’s Village in February of 2007. (We became friends with the Chief while in Kenya and he has a heart for helping the children.)
She is currently attending Eldama Ravine Primary School and is in Class 3 (3rd grade)
