Wayne is a 9 year old boy with hemophilia from Kenya, who has been in our sponsorship program since 2022. Wayne is pictured below with his mother, Mary, and his little brother. Mary is a single mother, taking care of both boys. Irene Kalekye, the program manager of Jose Memorial Hemophilia Society, shared their story:
Wayne from Turkana has been in a sponsorship program for years with his brother. Their single mother, Mary, wisely uses the funds to start small businesses for extra income. When Wayne needed surgery last year, the family moved to Nairobi. It was Mary's first time in the capital, but she quickly adapted. Using her emergency savings from the sponsorship program, she opened a small green grocery business. The vegetable stand now provides daily income to cover their basic needs while Wayne continues his education in Nairobi. Through careful planning and determination, Mary transformed the sponsorship support into lasting independence for her family.
"The sponsorship program has been our lifeline," Mary says. "It gave us the foundation to build a better future."
We are so honored to have been a helping hand in Mary's story. She is an inspiration to us and we wish her and her boys all the success in the future!
