Florence Wairimu (Child No. ER104)
Florence lives at Eldama Ravine Children’s Village in Eldama Ravine, Kenya.
She was born in 1993 in the Shauri Ako slums of Eldama Ravine and has two younger siblings.
Her mother died in 1999 while undergoing treatment in the hospital after delivery of her youngest child.
Her father is an alcoholic with no income and could not provide for the children. This situation forced their grandmother to take them in but being a single mother herself with several children and grandchildren in her old age could not take care of Florence and so brought her to the Children’s Village for assistance.
Florence was admitted in March 2004. She is currently doing fairly well despite the fact she started going to school at an older age.
Florence is among several children who are ready for sponsorship. To choose a child to sponsor, please visit our Sponsorship Gallery.
